Now that you've got a new card, you'll need to reconfigure X; did you do that? If not, boot to runlevel 3, log in as root and run: # system-config-display --reconfig Then, try starting X manually: # startx >X.out 2>X.err If it works, great; reboot and everything should be fine. If not, there should be some useful diagnostics in either the X.out and/or X.err files, which you can look at after rebooting again in runlevel 3. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
