Greetings: Thank you all for your suggestions. I have been playing around with getting GNOME to start all day, and not knowing what to do I used vi to look at my xfs config file. I noticed that the font size was set to 75,75,100,100. I changed it to 100,100,75,75 and Xwindows has been working ever since. Don't ask me how or why, but it does :) John
