a) You just made some changes in X that caused it to lock up the display. Magic sysreq got you out alive, but now you would like to boot to a console to fix it. b) Your monitor blew up. You've got a replacement on hand, but it won't work (and may even be damaged) with the current X settings. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
