I do have a file called |gpmdata in /dev/ but the size is 0 and it shows up black in mc plus it has this "|" in front And last date changed shows just a few min. ago. Looks like that file got corrupted somehow when I did the change to XFConfig-4. How do I get that file fixed? My X id not working at all anymore until I can fix this. And why did that happen? -- Gruessle -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
