All my machines work great like this with the Linux bootloader doing the booting of WinXP/Linux/FreeBSD. The thing that bums me out is that the mouse works with WinXP and SuSE-9.3 but there is no luck with the mouse with FreeBSD-5.4, KDE came up just fine though. Per postings to the web I have added and removed and added the line to /boot/device.hints of: hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" I also "enabled" and "disabled" ACPI in the BIOS too on various attempts. I have ran: Xorg -configure and ran the file that it generated with really bad results "then" deleted the generated file and made sure /etc/X11 was empty and with no apparent config file got a great display of kde when I started KDE, what file it used I don't know. I ran a trace on "startx" (with a .xinitrc file containing startkde) and I could not seem to determine it. I'm still used to /etc/X11/XF86Config but there is none in the new 5.4 So, I really tried to find some solution to this and more or less hit a brick wall. Thanks in advance for any help on this. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
