On another thread General stated that GNOME was a good desktop. I decided to try it out, and was in customizing the windows look and feel, when the screen went blank and kicked me out to the Graphical Login. From that point on it will not let me use GNOME. The splash screen will pop up, the screen goes dark, and it kicks me out to the login. I haven't seen an error message at all, and KDE still works.

My OS is Mandriva 2007 w/ kernel 2.6.17. i haven't seen smack on their forums...thought I would try us here.

My skills: I would consider myself an advance basic user in Linux. I know what root is, I can stomp around the konsole a bit, but I am no guru.

Has anyone seen this problem before, Im assuming it has something to do with my x11. I tried restarting xserv, but nothing seemed to work.

thanks!!!
