Me too had same problem when with FC1 when i tried to upgarde the gnome from 2.4 to 2.6 from tgz files . In my case i have damange the Display mangeer setting GDM so i was not geting regular rhgb prg output . so i had tried my luck as i have alter the line in inittab as "x:5:respawn:kill -9 39;kdm " as my rhgb was havin process id of 39 at boot sequcence and i have used kdm instead of gdm as i was having problem with GDM so morle of story is check you DM diskplay manager setting (KDM, GDM ) HTH -- -- Sachin Rase GNU\Linux enthusiast 91-9819246569
