Here is where the problem is I was configuring > xorg.conf as follows: Hi Mathew, I know from prior posts that there have been some issues with the WUXGA panels in terms of having to tweak the xorg.conf settings. The 'modeline' setting seems to be the most problematic component. I located an xorg.conf file for a gentlemen that appears to have gotten his working properly. You might want to start out by using his and seeing how that works. It is located here: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~rbirdman/configs/xorg.txt There are likely to be others here in the same boat and who may be able to offer you further assistance. I have the regular UXGA panel on my 5150 and have not had these issues. One of the places also to look for error messages during the startup of the x server is: /var/log/Xorg.0.log I would recommend that you change back to init level 3 for the time being until you get this resolved. That way, you can at least boot to a text mode console and use 'startx' to attempt to bring up the GUI to aid with debugging. HTH, Marc
