I do not find any xfree86 anything in /var/log/ Could it be someplace else? I was able to go through the "wizard" set up of xwindows and chose KDE default. It congratulated me, then upon hitting "ok" it rebooted. Back at my command line (I have security set at "high" so I have to log in as a user then become a super user) I type "startx" and it goes to the red screen with cursor, then exits back to the command line. Is it possible that I can't use xwindows as su? james
