I reinstalled LM8.0 this weekend using expert mode and selected
XFree-3.3.6. That
cured the problem I was having with X hanging and restarting. All appears
normal.
There is another problem I am still experiencing however. When I log out of
KDE,
and go back to a terminal screen it is now out of sync. I have multiple
diagonal
penguins and cannot read anything. All I can do is a CTRL-ALT-DEL to shutdown.
Any comments on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike Cates
