I believe that symbol should be resolved from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libi2c.a Does that file exist? > Agent pid 2780 > > waiting for X server to shut down Could you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Are there any interesting-looking error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Paul. -- Contents of file xorg.conf is below. There does not seem to be anything of interest in the log. The driver file does exist, is this something I can point the xorg.conf at? I am afraid I have to leave this problem until Monday. Thank you very much for your help to date. I will read anything you might post back on Monday morning. Andoni.
