Do you get to a login prompt at all (graphical or text-based)?

What happens if you press Ctrl-Alt-F2?

If the OP would do that, login as his user and enter "startx", I bet a
donut that he gets to his desktop. Mine is STILL boroken that way
...POS. synaptic isn't fixed yet. <sighs> Someone just shoot me. Ric




<CTRL><ALT><F7> will reach the X11 session.
Thank you for the heads up. But, we were advising ctrl-alt-f2 and I advised he login as his user and type startx. >IF< he gets to his desktop, then he has the same problem I have. I'm expecting others pop up with the very same problem. Ric
