I'd temporarily stop xdm (I think it will be an initscript but I've never used a ?dm) which should put you without X running on VT1. Then log in to a CLI and type /usr/bin/startx. See what happens. If that works, then you know that xdm is the problem. If not, starx should give you lots of errors. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
