Same problem, xsm dumped > core again. xsm sucks; I can't imagine why it has become the default for unconfigured X users. A couple of things; try logging in in "emergency" mode; ie. hit F1 rather than Return after your password. This should give you an xterm with no window manager. If that works, look at bringing your .xsession across from another machine, or use a really skeletal one like : #!/bin/sh twm & exec xterm -sb -sl 2000 (That uses the 'precious xterm' model, which I don't personally like, but it doesn't presume that the default twm config has an 'exit' menu entry.) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
