Fron that description, it looks like you don't have a window manager started - is that possible? It could also be that if you are using a window manager, its settings have been corrupted. The log file does not show any error related to what you're describing. However, have you verified that you did install the required graphics driver for your card? (I don't know which one that should be, as you didn't mention brand and model of your graphics card.) For further information, always have a look at .xsession-errors in your home directory. This file contains all the scary things you don't want to know. ;-) Sidenote: In order to move a window without a window manager, you can try to press the ALT key, then hold down the left mouse button inside the window you want to move, and then move it. Resizing is also possible with ALT + right mouse button. (I'm not sure if this functionality works without a window manager, but I found it works with all window managers I've tested so far, so it _might_ be possible that this is an independent function provided by X. Oh, and it's very convenient.) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
