hi again i have discovered where the problem lies in the xfree86.0.log file there are several errors [WW] the directory "/usr/xh/fonts/cyrillic" does not exist entry deleted from path [WW] cannot open APM [EE] VGA (0) driver cant support depth 24 [EE] Screen[s] found but none have usable configuration obviously the[EE]'s are stopping the gui starting the avance alg2302.a video card is not recognised `and marked as probed i assume linux has dealt with the card correctly and the main problem is the colour depth which i foolishly set at 24 bit how do i find the file and edit that entry?? thanks again Ray <|:-)>
