Hi James well in a way I'm glad it was'nt my imagination.
What screwed me up was he had autologin set, so once X started It had gone past the point of no return.. OK , I should have used the 1st cd as a rescue disk, and got into his home dir and deleted all .gnome* files. To be honest this autologin feature is a pain and should be removed. If you are forced to login there is a chance to get into a console before all hell breaks loose, as once it starts you have no keyboard and no mouse.. just the power switch. Also just to make the matter worse, the sound card and NIC sat on the same interrupt, so no network access.. But the good thing is Alsa drivers and module for the intel x810 works.. Maybe someone could create a RPM to download as an upgrade to disable autologin, if it was done when the system is loaded, the user would never know Well thats my thoughts on the matter Richard On Sun, 2003-10-19 at 22:42, James Sparenberg wrote: > On Sun, 2003-10-19 at 12:08, Richard Bown wrote: > > Hi > > There is definitely a problem when upgrading 9.1 to 9.2 when gnome is > > the wm > > unfortunately you have to lose the .gnome* files in your home > directory.
