This is a headless box, I don't run X server on it. I connect to it via XDMCP and run clients. So I've neither /var/log/Xorg.0.log nor startx on this box. It worked fine until the upgrade. I'm now thoroughtly confused by dbus and hal issues. So in case it matters I run neither hald nor dbus-daemon on this box. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
