<snip> I had been trying to start the X server using startx, but I inadvertently started the X server on my laptop by changing the Linux run level to 5 in the system which has RedHat 7.2 installed. The screen acted like it had been lately:
First: The screen goes partially (between 1/3 and 2/3) blue for a short (1-2 seconds) Then: The screen goes black and looks like it looses vertical hold. That is a horizontal line moving from the top to the bottom of the screen, Finally: when I switched to vt1 to switch the run level, very briefly the gdm (or xdm) login screen flashes on the screen then vt1 appears. Now, I do not know what this means about the driver failure, but I thought that I should report it on the chance that it might be of help. dlg _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
