Go to KDE's control center, System Administration->Paths and make sure the Desktop path is pointing to your Desktop directory > When I click the Logout icon under the start menu, it goes away and > nothi8ng happens.

The logout thing sounds like you have a program hanging that won't respond. KDE won't exit until all applications running have exited. I think that is configurable somewhere, but I can't find it this instant. The black screen thing is most likely a graphics driver thing. Are you by any chance running the ATI binary driver?

To conserve energy, your CPUs aren't running at full throttle unless you need them to. Run a CPU-intensive program and look at the cpuinfo again -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
