Hi Guillermo, try and make yourself a new user. If that one can work with the X-part of your system - then some rights in your local $HOME directory are broken (.xinitrc would be a candidate for this kind of weird behaviour, but also .ICEauthority or .Xauthority). If of cause the new user account does have the same problems, your /etx/X11 or worse might have wrong user rights. Have also a look i a file called .xerrors, .xsession-errors - or something like that (can't remember the correct name anymore), there could be some hints in it, if it does exist, what your problem is. Best regards, Karl
