You never answered my initial question. Are the proper xorg drivers for your graphics card installed? I ask again, because I've seen several situations where non-existent or incorrect graphics drivers make X do bad/odd things when exiting -- I've experienced this situation myself. I know nothing about ATI, other than it doesn't play well with any of the OSes I use, so I don't buy it. -- Glen Barber 570.328.0318
