1/ Your swap partition is mounted isnt it? Just run 'top' and the available swap space should be at the top of the display. 2/ Your partitions are not full up are they? I forget the console command but KDE Control Centre>Information>Partitions will tell you. 3/ A Nice value of -10 for X should be Ok (Its what I have) 4/ Did you try a different KDE account or Gnome? derek
