Thanks! I did that, and it's working great. It took care of un-installing xdm, too! I also solved the 60 Hz problem. I had read through the Xfree86 documentation quickly, and I read that with 4.x you don't have to specify mode lines. I went back and read more carefully, and saw what I missed earlier: if you don't have mode lines, it will default to the highest resolution it knows about, which in this case was running at 60Hz. I went back and put in mode lines that specified the resolutions I wanted, and it's great now. Also, that explains why Ctrl+Alt+Numpad+ did not work for me. That command cycles through the resolutions specified in the mode lines in your XF86Config-4 file. Since I had specified none, I was stuck in a single mode. I've got Gnome desktop running, sawfish-gnome installed and running, and the CoolClean theme installed. My Linux X desktop is looking great. Now all I need to do is get the esound daemon going and play my favorite music in Xmms. -- Steve R. Hastings "Vita est" [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blarg.net/~steveha
