thank you soooo much!!! (especially for the quick response...) I ran apt-get install XFree86, and it either reinstalled or updated the following: (XFree86-...) libs, devel, twm, xfs, xdm, and most importantly: base-fonts! i'm very excited that it all works fine now, but i am slightly curious (for future reference), if you know what i could have uninstalled to cause this problem... anyway, thanks again for all the help! ~Erin
