Thanks for your reaction! If I do 'startx' as root, I see the exact same 'fish bone' screen. If I do this as regular user, I see all these x lines in the console but it ends with 'waiting for x server to shut down'. After that, my .xsession-errors shows: x-window-manager: unable to open fontset "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120 -*-*-*-*-*-*" > Check also whether your window/desktopmanager is installed on your > system. Finally check for 'xdm', 'gdm', 'kdm', 'wdm' or 'whatever-dm' for > graphical login after boot. I expect my system to have gnome, since it did just before I upgraded from Potato to Woody. In fact, it runs Ximian-Gnome (or 'did' I should say). gdm exists in /etc/init.d Any further suggestions are tremendously appreciated! -- Erik van der Meulen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
