X had died, I read the error message and changed the video card section
from{
Driver "nv"
Option "UseFBDev" "true" } to "false"
This fixed X, then I installed GDM using aptitude, this must of fixed
a lot of stuff.
Somehow only the font displayed in Terminal looks like a broken typewriter.
You know, a bad ribbon ( oops my age is showing ).
I prefer to use eterm and it looks great.
When I did the apt-get install xfonts-base it told me I had the newest
version. Aptitude says it is 4.2.1-3
Everything is working and this was a smooth transition.
This Gnome version is wonderful, Thank You.
Dan
