Yes, I should have mentioned that I did try running that command manually, and I got the same error message: mmap user regs: Invalid argument I just now tried running "startx" immediately after manually entering the command, but that failed to work. I don't understand the error message, and that may be the key to solving the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
