In the xorg.0.log file there aren't any errors, glx is correctly loaded etc.. My system starts without X and then I use startx to start X server and KDE3.5 (if I'm not wrong about the version). Some errors are written on the console and I'm not able to see them! To see them I have to stop X (with ctrl+ bkspc) and use scroll lock to see what's there. I found the console full of "X error: bad window parameter" (and some numbers and parameters which I can't remember) Then I find a lots of warnings about kde problems (about loading arts daemons).=20 Except for these errors that I wouldn't be seeing if logging in directly in a graphical environment everything seems to work fine. So I have some questions: is this way of reporting errors correct? Can this be the related to the fact that when I try to use compiz-fusion it starts but it's way too slow and uses a lot of cpu? Should I worry about these errors? How can I solve them?? (They seem really too generic) Thank you!
