Hi, This did not work. I already tried this but did it again to get the log info you suggested. Lubuntu boots to black screen with only a mouse cursor showing. If I somehow get a window open (maybe just a right click to get a dialog or menu box) and drag it around the desktop with the mouse then the desktop refreshes and shows up in the swath or path of the dragged window - from doing this I get most of desktop to reveal - but the desktop is incomplete. Any Lubuntu/Xfce window or menu I open has deformed unreadable fonts with missing characters (ie. it's totally messed-up looking). But if I open Firefox or the terminal it looks and acts OK though. Here's log output: user@user1-pchut:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i uxa [ 20.728] (**) intel(0): Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" [ 21.081] (II) UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations: user@user1-pchut:~$ Thanks, any ideas appreciated. ----- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
