From what I have read online it appears that this is a common problem.
A fix is to update beryl which I will try with synaptic once I get to my
desktop.
Do you know how I can do that? Disable beryl from starting?

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
