You can use the single user mode (add single to the boot line in grub or whatever you're using for the macbook) and check out what is going on in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Alternatively, you can try logging into the machine remotely and viewing the same file. That will give you more details about what precisely X is doing when it fails. [Considering that this is a macbook, it wouldn't surprise me that it was some driver or monitor related issue, as those machines don't get tested very much by anyone.] -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com But if, after all, we are on the wrong track, what then?
