I don't think the dotfiles were left after shifting 9.10 to 7.10 as long as I marked the disk space as free befor reinstalling. I found the conf file to fix the monitor resolution. But still didn't succeed to logon in X. Plus, the shutdown command never ended displaying XUBUNTU logo which makes me switch off the power button. It woud be nice to know the key files responsible for login and shutdown/ thanks again,   Alex     -- Ярослав Райченко.   -- Скачай новую ICQ 7.0 <a href="http://icq.rambler.ru/">http://icq.rambler.ru/</a> </body> </html>
