Hmm.. Now the other thing that would be interesting is to know where this mesage is being issued from, ie which script. I am guessing that an X startup script issues this but I am not sure. To me, it sounds like xmodmap is trying to parse /etc/X11/Xmodmap and failing. From what you've described (no change in hardware, previously working USB peripherals etc), in the setting of an improper shutdown, there is one highly likely explanation I can think of - your Xmodmap file must have someway been corrupted. Now unfortunately I do not know enough about X to say this with any degree of certainty nor can I tell you how exactly to fix it. You may well want to take a look at the Xmodmap file, if it's corrupt, generate a new Xmodmap config file and see if that works. That will mean understanding the format of the Xmodmap config file and that will mean looking I guess, ie man xmodmap. Please note, I could be completely wrong, I am still struggling to figure out how a linux distro is put together. Someone more well versed in this might be able to hep Robert Spykerman -- chown -R us ./base _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list - [email protected] Unsuscribe info: http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
