I get the same error message, but X still starts for me, both with "startx" from the console and with graphical log-in via kdm. Therefore I would guess that you have an additional problem. Do you find any error messages or warnings in the log files after you try to start X? Try to run egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log Maybe that will turn up something useful to diagnose the problem. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
