Hi, could you log in a console and do sudo dmesg > dmesg.log and sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > Xorg.log and then provide the files dmesg.log and Xorg.log created by this? It somehow sounds as if X would be crashing and restarting over and over again. You could try reverting the whole installation by "apt-get remove" and "apt-get autoremove". WARNING: Check apt-get -s autoremove (a dry run) and look, what it wants to remove! It should only remove packages pulled in by firefox and acroread. Don't run it without -s if it wnats to remove lots of packages or important packages. This should get you to the state before the installation of the two packages. Greetings, Mika
