Hi, First-thanks for your reply. 1)When i boot with stock kernel 2.6.22-3-alpha-smp ,i go ->into X-session (gnome-session, gdm is installed) . 2)My video card is 'glint' driver(pm2 card).driver in/etc/X11/ xorg.conf is 'glint'. 3)I am not using 'fbdev' as driver in xorg.conf 4)In kernel .config file i have all the graphics options enabled that i normally would need. 5) there is no /dev/fb0, #ls -l /dev/fb0 -> /dev/null on my box? Best -Mel
