Log in as the problematic user and "startx". After it has crashed run the following two commands egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log tail -n20 ~/.xsession-errors and post the output here. I would furthermore like to see the result of these two things: lspci | egrep -i 'vga|video|display|graphic' awk '/Section "Device"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf If you cannot easily copy/paste this output into a mail as long as your X is not working then you can append " > somefile.txt" (without the quotes) to the above commands. This lets you redirect the output to files which you can copy to another system if necessary. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
