Hi Chris, silly question: Did you install nvidia-glx ? If yes, try to reinstall the package nvidia-glx. Does it work ? If not, try my way: 1. Remove /etc/init.d/kdm 2. Do a startx from the prompt as root. 3. Now you can see, what really happens. Does this help ? Regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
