PS: I looked at some of the older Xorg logs, that error has been there, copiously and seemingly forever. One of them was north of 500 megs! So... I reconfigured, built and installed a 3.16.0 kernel with the generic fbdev added to the mix. But have not rebooted yet. About to do that but it takes me about 10 minutes after a reboot to get all my workspaces set up. Boot timing is wrong from gkrellm so I always have to kill it and give the hardware monitor time to get its stuff in one sock, then restart it, and X always opens every console I had running when I issued the reboot, on workspace #1, and there are 10 of them. 9 are busy ATM. For some strange reason, Kcalc is the only utility that remembers which workspace it was on. Everything else is piled up on workspace 1 & has to be moved to where it normally lives. :) I write bash scripts for something like a kernel build/install so I don't have to remember (considering the years on the wet ram) all that. ;) Anyway, reboot coming up. Thanks Thomas. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
