Nope. I had a similar problem on i386. Except I upgraded from potato to woody, and my X config went away, and I just got the prompt. I had to install xserver-xfree86 and a few other things (apt-get didn't get all of the dependencies) to get my gui back. Russell On Wednesday 16 January 2002 09:35 pm, Michael D.
