It might be that with your video card you *must* have an xorg.conf, although I think that most cards will run with a basic /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11- input.fdi I have not seen the errors you are getting in your log before, but I noticed libc.so.6 - have you run revdep-rebuild -p -i or revdep-rebuild -p -i -- library libc.so.6 just in case? -- Regards, Mick
