When I shut down x > with ctrl/alt backspace, I get: waiting for X server to shut down xterm: A couple things for you: 1) Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is not really the _correct_ way to shutdown the xwind= ows=20 system. If you get a black, checkered screen with about three green window= s,=20 select the one on the left and type 'exit.' If this doesn't work, do the=20 Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and kill all processes that mention X or xfree. =20 2) To get Gnome to start create a file in your user's home directory=20 ( ~/ ) called .xinitrc (WITH the 'dot' in front). In this file, add = the=20 line: exec gnome-session If you use KDE instead, use the line: exec startkde Hope this helps, and welcome to the club. =2D-=20 Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588 --Boundary-02=_HvKAATCSMQQjdih Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAAKvHzdyDbTMRQIYRAkbFAJ9Y9hiKXrLkiParguEs5qPqPIHq/wCgkgZV mY1YWmN6K871HjHch687Jh8= =JFCC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_HvKAATCSMQQjdih--
