Hi, I decided to upgrade and installed RH9.0 from scratch as a result I get a black screen and no action when I use startx. I can go bacl to the console with Ctrl Alt backspace... Hardware is ASUS A7V with an Athlon 1GB 256MB RAM Matrox G550 Samsung syncMaster 181T (Flat screen) I am appending XF86Config and XFree86.0.log interestingly enough, I have a "linux on CD" Knoppix which does not seem to have any problem with my PC (but for limiting itself to 1024x768 while I can get 1280x1024 with w2k) any help is welcome thanks Lionel

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
