Oh dear... i just found out that the login screen is bigger than the display resolution used for the login screen, so i never saw any of the buttons to the right side of the boot screen... (continued below) Ok i tried gnome-failsafe but this results in the same error, the 'your session lasted less than 10 seconds' phrase. The xsession/failsafe login works, but what exactly shall i do after that barebone window manager pops up? I tried to log off and then log in to a gnome session, but again the error msg popped up. I can't login to a gnome session with either root or my existing user account, which only works for user accounts created from scratch... Getting frustrated about this issue. I ask myself what might happen if i pull the power plug while X is up ? Would this cause the same problem ? (incorrect logoff, never ever login again) ? Poorly programmed. About the login screen: I'm using the following display resolutions in the XF86Config: "1280x1024" "1600x1200", "1152x864", "1024x768", "800x600", "640x480" I had to move the "1600x1200" entry away from the leftmost position to prevent the login screen from being opened in 1600x1200, but the login screen gfx is now bigger than the display resolution. Must i really remove the "1600x1200" entry from the list ? And where can i find "1280x960" ? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
