Thanks, I did that. But before I got your reply, I relised that it was only xine which was causing the problem. Whenever you run xine I get the grey screen, and every app afterwards gets the same. I tried removing the old version and installing the latest but not th d5d plugin doesn't show up. > > Question 2: > > My config file is very minimal, I removed so options, which I think were > > Matrox specific.

Thats strange though, I've never had a Geforce 2, why would it show that? Thanks for your help :) Jordan P.S. Does anyone know how to get xine to UPDATE packages using urpmi? It never seems to want to update packagaes which are already installed. Specifically, I want to update gtk. -- Jordan Elver A problem shared is a problem halved, so is your problem really yours or just half of someone elses? -- David Brent (The Office)
