I think that you might have something there. I did set beryl (and 1 other
3d thing, can't remember the name) just before I shut down the computer.
How do I disable this? I don't want to get ris of it because I think my
video card can handle it very easily.
I don't think that I have a cheap card, yet. nvidia 8800gtx.

Greetings:
Had my linux installed at the installfest. Worked great at the time. 3d
acceleration was rightchous.
I now have a new problem in which I cannot go to my desktop
environment-just a white screen. It doesn give me a cursor in which can
be moved: changes to a pointed hand-link hand-when placed at certain
areas of the screen. I guess this means that the mechanics are
inplemented but everything is a wash.
Grub does its thing, loads my os, then gives me a user screen as usual.
When I try to log in as any user, including root, I wind up with a white
screen.
I might be able to muddle thru and go to the x files (funny-used to watch
this show a lot), and change a few options but this is very challenging
for my given my lvl of expertise.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Dear Jimbo,
I had this happen recently when I tried to install Beryl on my ubuntu
Feisty. I assumed it didn't like my cheap video card. I went to a console
(ctrl-alt-F1), uninstalled beryl and rebooted and everything was fine. I
wonder what you were doing just before the white screen?
Yours,
Chris
