Hi and welcome to the dark side ;) You might take into account to not post in html in any linux related mailings as this is considered anoying. And while you're here a word of advice... Please create a user account and use that for regular use, the root account is only to be used for performing system maintenance. In fact you should disable root login in X. When you need to do maintenance, do a su -c 'command' where command is the command needed, or many Fedora delivered maintenance tools can be ran from a normal user and it will ask you for the root password. Next, after you get the segfault, fire up the system-logviewer or if that's not available, press CTRL+ALT+F1 to open up a standard terminal session (not X) login there and go to the /var/log directory do a tail messages and look for anything odd if you suspect it be related to SE, do a tail secure And lastly, do a tailXorg.0.log These logfiles might give you a clue as to the cause. Once you are done there, press CTRL+ALT+F7 to return to X HTH Andy On Wednesday 05 October 2005 23:26, Cecil Thornhill wrote: > It may be that the hardware I have access to for testing is just going to > be a problem, but I suspect there are some configuration changes I need > that I have not been able to find.
