There are some problems in your Xserver setting. Are you able to boot into console mode ? If yes, then you would have to run one of the X configuration utils like xf86config or Xconfigurator, and try out things manually. If NOT, you may have to re-install your system in non-GUI mode, or get into it with a rescue floppy/ CD/ stand-alone distro and edit /etc/inittab and make this line look like this: # Default runlevel. set to 3 for console mode. id:3:initdefault: HTH Bish -- : ####[ Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]# ######################### Sub : System Information LOST #002 On a running machine, most of the system info used by the kernel is stored as text files in /proc directory. Try out :- e.g. cat /proc/cpuinfo ... for basic info on CPU $ls /proc .... to see what else is there. ####<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>#################################### : ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
