I'm leaning toward some strange type of Xorg -- kernel interaction,
but I'm not sure what it might be...

The xorg.conf is the same, the services that start at boot time are the same, xinit.conf is the same. The only change is the kernel, and I build that with make oldconfig to grab all the same configurations it could from the old kernel...

Do you have your hostname properly configured? And in /etc/hosts do you have your 127.0.0.1 entry? I agree with your assessment. I found a similar message on an LTSP list, but the terminal's name was before 9202. (That post was about a different problem, so the solution there didn't help me.) My /etc/hosts file includes the localhost entry (127.0.0.1 localhost) and also an entry for my system's real IP address and hostname (192.168.0.251 brego ...). So I don't think that is the problem. Thank you for the suggestion, though, as I had not double-checked /etc/hosts yet... -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
