If X11/XOrg is not starting, then there is a problem either with your video driver, or the monitor settings; what I would recommend is that you make sure you know what monitor you have (and it's settings) along with what video card you have; login to the system as "root", and once logged in, run XFdrake; make all the necessary changes (and test them); once that is done, you should be able to reboot the system and login to whichever desktop you so desire (or what you have installed). -- stephen kuhn mobile: 0410-728-389 illawarra and regional new south wales ----------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives 100% Microsoft Free and no viruses Registered Linux User # 267497 Windows: Where do you want to go today?
