you can also do "startx -- -dpi 96" (no quotes, of course) I started having the same problem after adding an Nvidia Geforce 4 to my running machine and installing the unmasked drivers. I used the above command to start X until I emerged the 4191 masked drivers and the problem went away. YMMV, of course but maybe this will help you. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
