Pierre, For the first problem, here is the relevant display section from my /etc/XF86Config: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Dell 1600x1200 Laptop Display Panel" HorizSync 31.5 - 90.0 VertRefresh 59.0 - 85.0 Option "dpms" EndSection If you can boot into text mode, as 'root', edit this file and be sure that the above is what you have. The above is the default for the 1600 x 1200 Dell UXGA display. Be sure that this is in fact the display that you have. For the second problem put: alias floppy off in /etc/modules.conf That should take care of the floppy issue, which I had as well. HTH, Marc Schwartz
