I think it's expected. The Mozilla you're using is M9, which is really outdated and barely usable, in my opinion. Don't know why there aren't any new debs. Probably because the maintainer's to busy. Oh well. Marshal From: Hans Ekbrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mozilla warnings Date: Tue,

Actually, you should just uninstall the xdm package. The last time I tried, gdm worked like a charm. Just installed the package and the next boot up it used gdm. Marshal From: Svante Signell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to disable xdm Date: Sun, 5 Dec 1999 01:43:52 +0100 (CET) Howdy,

I suggest that you use xf86config. I find that this sets up the /etc/X11/XF86Config file quite well. (I haven't used XF85Setup.) You'll need to know your monitors scan rates and stuff, though. You may have to fiddle with the /etc/X11/XF86Config after though to tweek it optimally. Marshal On
