I am willing to help out, but on these conditions only.

1. That you start looking at this as a fun challenge by which you stand to actually learn a thing or two about computer hardware and how the OS works.

2. Next I want to know about your, HDD, Video Card, Sound Card, Modem, Ethernet Card, CDROM, DVD, CDRW, SCSI or IDE?, Motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc, you get the idea.

3. Then I want you to post the output of dmesg to this board if you want help. If you do not know how to do this, open a terminal and as `su' type:
# dmesg > dmesg.txt

Then paste that into your post so we can see what the kernel has to say.

I also want to see your XFree86.0.log, you can find it under /var/log

4. Are you using an NVIDIA video card? If so are you using the NVIDIA driver? things like that.

If you do these things, or at least attempt to do them the best you can, I will help you.

If you are too lazy to do any of this, or do any reading for yourself and want a canned insta-answer then go back to Windows.

You will get no sympathy from Unix hackers when you complain about little isues if you have no desire to reasearch the issue and gain from the experience. Especially from someone like myself who has had to write device drivers to get a peice of hardware to work.
