What does the log file say? Check /var/log/XFree86.?.log. What does it say about the -bpp option you passed? Oh, -bpp is deprecated, use -depth instead. Also, passing a bad option to X (ie. X -bogus) will print all server command line options. There is an option to use a config file on the command line. -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
