The first thing to do is look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Either cat the wole thing or do: cat /var/log/XFree86.0.log | grep "(EE)" The latter will just print out the errors to the screen. This should give you enough info to fix it. If not, post that output back here. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
