Unfortunately I ended by removing ALL the X-related stuff, which will have to be reinstalled later. Meanwhile, I still cannot get X to work. I reinstalled xorg but the same errors recur, i.e. 1. Cannot mv /var/log/Xorg.log.o /var/log/Xorg.log.0 If I try as root, the above error does not occur but instead I get: 2. could not open default font fixed. I'm not sure if it is possible to revert to the earlier xfree86 while this is going on. -- Anthony Campbell - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft-free zone - Using Linux Gnu-Debian http://www.acampbell.org.uk (blog, book reviews, on-line books and sceptical articles) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
