Thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested. The resolution was at 1024x786 (or something like that) and the color was already set at 16bpp, which was the smallest of available choices. I change the resolution to 1024x480, the next smaller choice. After reboot, KDE came up, but the smaller resolution is unworkable. I used harddrake to reset it back to 1024x786, rebooted, and got the same black screen. This is a dual boot with XP and XP works fine with the higher res. I have another monitor to try, but if that doesn't do it, I guess that 10.1 doesn't work with the graphics card, Intel 185. Mike
