Not really. The only thing that seems odd. Why are you using gdm? Is there a reason why you are not using lightdm? Is this a machine that has been upgraded a number of times? If so, do you have an old Xorg.conf file in play? If that is the case, it may be worth backing it up to a safe place and running without it. After that, I am out of ideas! :-) -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
