Hey all.. I have few more little bitty problems with 7.2 that I hope can be answered.. First, I was the one who posted a few days ago about the voodoo banshee card not installing right with 7.2 or RH 7 beta using Xfree 4.0. I never did solve it, but solved it by buying a new Matrox G400.. Not only did this FIX my problem, it also cured a long standing problem I've had since I started running Linux.. Memory use by X.. KDE in any distro would use ( according to top ) 75-79M worth of ram.. Gnome w/ e or sawmill, 91M.. I always figured this was just simply too much.. Well, under the G400, X use KDE 2.0 is a mere 47 M. So, not only did this card set up right, my system is much more snappy than I've ever had in Linux ( since the banshee is the only card I've owned since running linux ).. The G400 installed flawless in Linux, win of course, and BeOS, I simply *did nothing* .. :) Now, to the problems.. First, booting into runlevel 5, REGARDLESS OF WHAT WM I CHOOSE, Window Maker starts.. I have to exit it, then I get the mandrake or now helix-gnome login ( I added helix gnome ).. How do I fix this? Which leads me to question 2 and 2a.. :) When I DO get the Helix Gnome login, it DOESN'T CONTAIN GNOME.. ?? duh huh? ANy thoughts how to fix I would appreciate.. Now, the Mandrake GUI Login DID contain gnome, and I don't really care which one I use.. I saw this a while back and searched the mandrake archives but didn't find the answer.. How can I change the gui login from the helix-gnome one back to the mandrake with the penguins?? Thanks as always! Mandrake 7.2 looks nice, and I like KDE 2.0 quite a bit.. Alan
