>when you load X, use 'startx' like this: >startx >&~/X.log
I tried this but it didn't like the &, so I removed it, but it did not create the file X.LOG in my home dir. p.s. What is the & for? the & tells the system to redirectall putput to that file, standard out and standard error. try startx >&/home/user/X.log if nothing happens, check X.log, see what it says. I use this method often to debug X problems. without the & sybmol only standard out will go to the log file, not standard error(or maybe its the other way around) and the result is usually an empty file(like you noticed). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
