I never saw your original post; so I didn't know what you were talking about at first. "Thank you"s are so rare that I went back and read your original post. As someone else has noted, your subject line was terrible. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has a full time job doing something else. He monitors the list because he wants to help people. But he doesn't have the time to read hundreds of e-mails per day. What I do is scan the subject lines and only read posts about topics that I think I know something about. "Newbie needs help" contains no information at all about the problem you are trying to solve. So I skipped over it. Even so, you did get a request for your Xorg.0.log file, which is what I would have asked for too. And as far as I can tell, you never posted it. You give up too easily. -- .''`.
