I haven't heard any reports like this. What is your video card? Try the following 1) init 3 2) Backup your /etc/X11/XF86Config file and erase it from that location. 3) redhat-config-xfree86 --reconfig Choose options then save. Start X again. If that didn't help, please let me know and I have more debugging ideas. We may need to file a report. Warren Togami [EMAIL PROTECTED]
