All attached files seem completely normal, except for /var/log/messages, which shows that you didn't properly shut down the system. (This can be hard when the system is frozen :) How are you starting X? 1. It starts automatically on bootup 2. Log in & startx 3. X If (3), did you get a black screen or a finely-textured gray screen? Try hitting Ctl-Alt-BackSpace. (Yes, Backspace _NOT_ Delete.) You can try: X :0 & # hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 xterm -display :0 & # hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 Oh, and try disabling DPMS. DPMS allows for monitor powersaving, but it crashes the Xserver for some reason on my system... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
