First I closed all running apps, then went to a command line with Ctrl-Alt-F2. I switched to root and then did "init 3" to stop X. And then I executed the command above to reinstall xorg. It was scary (57 packages), but it executed without error. Then I did "init 5" and logged in again as jjj. Fontmatrix and ksysguard still won't launch and from the command line give the same error as before. I just don't understand how installing the nVidia driver could have altered those two applications so they now require the nVidia driver. The nVidia driver could not actually alter the apps themselves, because I have uninstalled and reinstalled them without any change. But the nVidia driver installation must have changed some configuration file that those two apps are using. And those are the only two apps that are affected (so far as I know). _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
