It is not, alas, a solution in the short run, either. /etc/init.d/xdm restart does not get me back to an X login, just the "black screen of death". I removed xdm from the initialization process. Now, following a reboot, I can issue startx and X will start. I could also run /etc/init.d/xdm start and get a graphical login. However, if I ever log out of X I again have to reboot to get back in. Could the video chip [?] (I have an Intel D845GBV M/B and am using the onboard video) require some sort of reset? Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
