But I tried that, to no avail. Specifically, when su'd to root when logged in as myself I performed the following steps: # init -s [...] # rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/GL # ln -s ../../../../../var/run/opengl/server /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/GL # ls -Ll /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/GL total 4639 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 245 Jan 22 09:52 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 304 Jan 22 09:52 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 183 Jan 22 09:52 amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 2322468 Oct 20 20:51 libglx.so # init 6 When the system comes back up in multiuser mode, try to change the Visual Effects still results in a blank white screen. :-( Do you have any other ideas? -- Rich Teer, Publisher Vinylphile Magazine www.vinylphilemag.com
