Hi, Starting today, when I do a startx on my user account the gui turns on to the point of a deep blue color screen with an X for a mouse pointer and that is it. Nothing else loads or is on the screen. No controls either and had to recycle the power and use the root account to use my browser and write this message. Any logs that I can look at that will give me a clue as to what is going on or does anyone have an idea as to what is going on? You may recall that I also have another thread on this mailing list that states that I was using an msdos formatted floppy and forgot to umount it before turning my machine off one time and now when I try to mount the floppy with a mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy I get the error msg msdos: /dev/fd0: Device not configured Not sure if the two are connected, but even when I am logged in as root as I am now I still get the same msg. But my biggest problem now is this gnome problem. Thanks for your help on figuring out what the heck is going on. Wayne __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
