I've come to the conclusion the nouveau driver doesn't work with new nvidia cards as well, as I had to black list it. As for the last bit Ralf ,I couldn't agree more, strange how other distros can manage to have gdm3 and gnome-shell running. The common point I'm not happy with and its a gnome-shell thing is the applications menu and how difficult it is to edit. but I will master it :) And the throw away society will get bitten on the arse, because all the skills that are needed to keep things working, are no longer needed. Or so they think ! The idea of wanting to know how something works has changed. enough before I get accused of trolling :) -- Best wishes / 73 Richard Bown e-mail: rich...@g8jvm.com or richard.b...@blueyonder.co.uk nil carborundum a illegitemis ################################################################################## Ham Call G8JVM .
