Thanks to Rene Koopal I solved this problem it had nothing to do with the entry from the kernel log. Apparently that's been around for a while and has to do with the fact that the MGA drivers are out of date, I just hadn't noticed it before. The real problem was this little beauty: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=113878&repeatmerged=yes which will probably affect others. Essentially you need to remove the quotes from around $REALSTARTUP in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start Wonder how a bug that probably affects so many people made it into "testing"? Gary
