can login in gnome only with failsafe

[Eric Dunbar]

I suspect your screen size may have been thrown out of whack.

Try moving the mouse to the edges of the screen and see if you have
"virtual desktop" activated (don't know you call the scrolling in
Linux).

It sounds like you're logging into GNOME normally and suffering from
screen size problems. You may want to investigate your XF86Config
file.

Eric.
