The display options for this new one are different (different monitor type, output...) so when I boot, at the end I get the message: Not starting X display manager (xdm), it is not the default display manager. How can I fix the problem? Start off by logging in at the console and running "startx". Does X start? If so, you just need to re-enable xdm (or gdm, or kdm, or wdm) with a command like "dpkg-reconfigure xdm"; if not, you need to fix the problems with X. -- Kent West Technology Support Abilene Christian University
