The mobo is an MSI 785GM-P45. =====%<----- snip! ----->%===== The first thing I'd try is to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.orig, or something like that, then restart X. This will let X generate a new config if it needs one, which it may not. If that doesn't work, try the following command, as root: yum reinstall xorg-\* That will cause yum to re-install all your existing X11 packages. Any files that the proprietary Radeon driver has clobbered will be replaced. (I had to do this a couple of times swapping between nVidia's drivers and nouveau.) Hope this helps. --Dale -- "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
