could you please 1. out a relevant subject line in your emails
2. tell us the output of the runlevel command (that is to say type runlevel at the prompt and tell us what the output is) 3. run the test I posted yesterday, to reiterate, run the X command and tell us the result. If it does to a screen with an X cursor in the middle hit ctrl-alt-backspace to get back where you were. If it bombs out back to the console then report the messages it left on the console. 4. also give us the output of the lspci command. to run that you need to be the root user, so: type su <enter> type in your root password (that you set up during setup) type lspci <enter> tell us the result. And please, if people make suggestions, do try them!
