Hiya Thanks for the quick response! We've been plugging away at this for a while and have managed to resolve the problem. In answer to your questions: Neither machine is running Beryl or Compiz It only happened with the nvidia driver, but the nv driver caused the machine to fail entirely The way that we fixed it was to both delete the user's home directory and replace the xorg.conf with the one from the working machine. Both machines have two monitors. I was using the two screen configuration from the 'system settings' control panel (Xinerama), while my colleague was using twinview. It appears that the twin monitor configuration from the control panel clobbered something in my home directory that caused the problem (possibly in .kde?) Thanks again for the quick response - if the problem reoccurs I will update you.
