Ack. I'm not ready to upgrade X yet. I found putting an .xsession in my home directory that calls /usr/bin/kde2 makes it work sort of. Fonts are a little screwy, like it's coming up in 75 dpi where it has been 100 dpi. I'm thinking I have a busted link in either /etc/X11 or /etc/alternatives. I've been comparing notes between this box and my Thinkpad trying to figure out what the problem really is, but haven't found a smoking gun yet. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr All things in moderation.
