It seems that gpm causes problems, so you need to either uninstall it, or prevent gpm from starting up on boot (usually done by either removing the symlink from rc?.d/ directory to the gpm script in /init.d, or just removing the script itself. But try to kill gpm first and see if that helps at all. It should. Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrei S.
