Don't worry! :-) The /var/log/Xorg.[0-9]*.log and dmesg output are mandatory for help to understand problems under all kernels. The former it is particularly X oriented when the latter is more generic (it is cover all things controlled by kernel). *SNIP* Ciao, Alessio </blockquote></div> Thanks for the excellent instructions! I attempted to work on this today, however I got to step 4 ("Switch to command line interface (CTRL+ALT+F1)") and was unable to get to a CLI prompt. I wait until X fails, the screen goes blank, and after making sure the system is no longer doing anything, I hit CTRL+ALT+F1. Nothing happens, and I am forced to do a hard reset. What should I try next? -- -Brian David
