Yes, I can. (I don't boot into X.) I'm pretty sure the problem is related to my USB mouse. By loading and unloading modules I've been able to focus the problem: If I don't load USB modules, but load mousedev, I can start X, but with no mouse. (That makes sense, since it's a USB mouse.) I can return to the console normally! If I load USB modules, and then load mousedev, I can start X with mouse support, but can't get back to the console. As soon as I try to switch to a console or exit X, everything freezes up. I haven't been able to start X without loading mousedev. Anyway, at least it seems pretty clearly to be a USB mouse related problem. Perhaps there's some secret recipe for loading those modules correctly. In the past I've just compiled USB support directly into the kernel, and never had a problem. -- _ -o) Lance Simmons /\\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
