So I set Option UseFBDev to Off, and now I get this: "MergedFB does not work with Option UseFBDev, MergedFB mode is disable." and I'm unable to start X. Well, of course they do-- you're using the 'defaults' option, which implies (among other things) 'noexec'-- which means scripts may not be run (no executables may be run) from the partition. You might want to add the 'exec' option *after* the 'defaults' option (so that it overrides the 'noexec' included by 'defaults', if you put 'exec' before defaults, the 'noexec' witll override the exlplicit 'exec', which is not what you want). You maybe got confused, because 'defaults' use 'exec' and not 'noexec'. But, for clear doubts, I double set 'exec' and tried again, with no success... I still can't create a user properly! And this problem spreads to X startup.. what can be wrong? (from /etc/fstab) /dev/hda5 /home vfat defaults,gid=100,umask=002 0 0 I set the gid to all users. I give rxw to 'group' members... but still nothing.. I see a solution by moving /home/ to the linux partition... but I think this should work thoug... Also not quite sure what is the usefulness of 'umask=000', since that just says "leave the umask as it is" Yes... it was 002 before.. I changed to check if the problem was due to 'others' permission.. http://www.shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=230 (:: Shell-Shocked :: Tutorial: Multiple Linux Distros). I had a look in there.. very nice.. :) -- [email protected] mailing list
