If you get a black, checkered screen with about three green windows, select the one on the left and type 'exit.' If this doesn't work, do the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and kill all processes that mention X or xfree. 2) To get Gnome to start create a file in your user's home directory ( ~/<user> ) called .xinitrc (WITH the 'dot' in front). In this file, add the line: exec gnome-session If you use KDE instead, use the line: exec startkde Hope this helps, and welcome to the club. -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588 [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAAKvHzdyDbTMRQIYRAkbFAJ9Y9hiKXrLkiParguEs5qPqPIHq/wCgkgZV mY1YWmN6K871HjHch687Jh8= =JFCC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
