Re: Cannot get back into GNOME

Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

I have subsequently found out/determined that the warning thrown up by the 
driver isn't an issue.  So I am still at the stage now where I cannot get 
GNOME to execute.

I can get into gdm no problem.  Select GNOME session, enter username and 
password.  Then it goes to a window with the title "Session Menu" which has 
"Default" and "Failsafe" as the two possible selections, then a couple of 
buttons along the bottom.  No matter what you do from there I end up with a 
grey/blue background, mouse pointer and a 2x2 box in the upper left hand 
corner with the selections "Client List", "Session Log", "Checkpoint" and 
"Shutdown".

Have been through the configuration documentation on gdm and can't find 
anything that looks "out of place" to me.

I have also tried to reinstall GNOME from the Redhat 9.0 installation disks 
and that made no difference.

Any ideas on what the problem is here?  Any at all?  I would "love" to be 
able to actually do some work now ;-(

Catch ya,
