There will be some entries in your log files that should help narrow the problem down. I don't know which file X problems are logged to since I don't use it, but it'll be something in /var/log. If you find anything interesting in the log, you can search for it and for other entries having to do with ATI, Radeon, and Gnome at http://forums.gentoo.org. The Gentoo forums are outstanding. There's also a Gentoo Radeon FAQ at http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/gentoo-radeon-faq.html Martin Martin ------------------------ Yahoo!
