--- Begin Message ---Package: gdm Version: 2.6.0.8-1sarge2 Attached is the error message in /var/log/gdm/:0.log, which is what comes on the terminal window. The problem came up as follows. I tried to upgrade ('sudo apt-get update', then upgrade), probably from 'sarge', (3.x) to the new one (4.0): I say 'probably' because I think I tried this earlier, but could not do the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' because of too little disk space in /var/something... : this same problem occurred here too, btw. But, after the upgrade, I could no longer play freecell, and when I rebooted (to see if the problem might go away) X never came back. The error message (attached) mentions a missing module (mga_hal). Googling for this error message shows that the latest bug on this was in 2004: I don't know what to do with that info. I did notice that I still run kernel 2.4.18, whereas the gdm version is 2.6. While I acknowledge that I may have messed up, it would be nice if X would stay alive despite my error. Any information to get X back is very much appreciated. Nino R. Pereira A -- Nino R.

Hi, It sounds like you are stuck between sarge and etch, not a good place to be. I suggest you read the release notes and make a full upgrade to etch. See http://www.us.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes (if you are unsure about the architecture it's probably "Intel x86"). If you need help during the upgrade, I suggest you try one of the user mailing lists. http://lists.debian.org/users.html I see nothing here suggesting a bug in gdm, and the file you attached is not a log of gdm, so I will close the bug report. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
