Look in /var/log/X[whatever] for clues. Try a different window manager/environment. Are you starting from "startx" or some sort of login manager? Try the/an other method. Are you running Stable, Testing, Unstable? KDE? Gnome? Fluxbox? other? Without more detail, I'd guess KDE, from KDM, and you get logged in, the X server starts, and then dies, which is probably being caused by wrong perms on /tmp/.ICE-unix. But that's just a guess based on my most common issue on Sid. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
