Do you see a text screen with a *text* cursor or a *mouse* cursor? If it's the former, I can't see how this could be KDE or Gnome related... Try looking in /var/log for any X server messages, or try to run X yourself (startx) to see if you can see any hints of what's wrong. -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Dec 30 2012, 17 Tevet 5773 n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Diplomat: one who tells you to go to hell http://nadav.harel.org.il |in a way you look forward to the trip. _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
