Can you change to a virtual console (Ctl-Alt-Fn where n!=1) when this happens? (And if not can you do it normally?) N.B. Alt-F1 should get you back to the desktop. Might help in working out whether this is a problem with X or with XFCE. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
