This also happened to me under Mandrake 9.1rc2, and disabling 3d acceleration fixed it. -- Dave Sherman MCSE, MCSA, CCNA "If we wanted you to understand it, we wouldn't call it code." _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.archives.real-time.com tclug-list at archives.real-time.com https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
