another interesting video problem VLC won't play dvd- resolved.

[Gary Kirkpatrick]

Nautilus does not find a file called (/var/log/Xorg.0.log).  Do you know
what directory (is that the linux word?) this file is stored in?  Perhaps I
can find it manually.  I asume it opens with a text editor- is that correct?

I thought (since I am a fairly basic computer person) you meant for me to
execute that file and give the read out.

Thanks

G

PS I'll stick with gmail until this problem is resolved.  Switching at this
point might further compliacate matters.
