[i]You said previously gdm (which runs as root) comes up with 1024x768 but after login X would switch to 1600x1200 (running as the user). [/i]
this seem a misunderstanding: [i]You said previously gdm (which runs as root) comes up with 1024x768[/i] True. On a virtual 1600x1200, though, out of center. [i]but after login X would switch to 1600x1200 (running as the user).[/i] No. If only it would.! It did so until and included nv99, but has failed to do likewise since nv101. Now I get the 1024x768, the frequent panel crashes (without me touching or clicking anything after entering my credentials), and the step-wise 'upgrade' only using NVIDIA X settings. I'll check and send the content of the 2 files tomorrow; as I have no access now. Uwe -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
