X weirdness

[Sridhar M.A.]

Hi,

As mentioned sometime earlier, dapper installs on my machine, but does
not boot. Seems that the problem is with a specific ASUS motherboard
some of us are having.

So, installed breezy and using dapper cd updated it. Even pulled in the
latest versions from the net. Still, the latest kernel 2.6.15-9 does not
boot. But, the one that is shipped with breezy boots. 

I am now facing another problem. At the gdm screen, if I login, I get a
window with the following message:

    I could not start your session and so I have started the failsafe
    xterm session ...

Sorry for the short version as I remember only that much. After this,
just one gnome-terminal windows minus the window decorations appears. 
I have to run all programs from the terminal. It is royal pain. Noticed
that even alsa is not loaded.

Can anyone give me some pointers to get over this problem?

Regards,
