Unfortunately neither of these ways works, X11 bounces a bit and disappears as it has always done when trying to start Gnome. I got the Gnome splash screen once... But then it died with X11, bummer. Would there be anything useful in the system logs do you think? What sort of error should I look for if I do trawl through them? Which specific system log should I be looking at? Is there an X11 log, I can't see one? Do I need to turn on X11 logging? How do I do that..? *William takes a breath* OK, I know that's a lot, but I'm relatively new to this side of the Mac and really want to learn, and I promise that as soon as I know enough and have answers for other people's problems I'll start answering as well as asking :) Thank you all again ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
