That looks like a normal sequence of startup messages to me. This would mean that your Xorg crashed so hard that it could not even write anything into the log anymore, which would indicate a serious issue with the graphics driver or a hardware problem. Keep in mind, though, that the previous log is normally overwritten when kdm restarts X. Check if you have /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and look for error messages in there. > $ uname -a > Linux paulandcilla 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 22:11:31 UTC 2008 i686 > GNU/Linux > > $ ps -ef|grep kdm > root 4698 1 0 Mar28 ? > 00:00:00 /usr/bin/kdm -config /var/run/kdm/kdmrc I guess the first thing to do is to unload the nvidia module and to try running X with the "nv" driver. If the problem persists with the open source driver then you have at least a chance to debug it further. In that case you should also have a look at the hardware more closely (memtest, power supply voltages, etc.). -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
