<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>My Linux Redhat 6 is giving me a bit of grief and I was
hoping a PLUG guru may be able to offer some advice to a new Linux
user???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When I bring up gdm and click on either backslash or /var
the gdm window starts to flicker and freezes the session, so that the only way
out is ctl-alt-bkspc to the gnome log in screen. Certain applications such
as minicom and extace will only stay on screen for a second or two and
disappear. When I go to add certain applets to my panel such as ones with
graphical components (ie: wanda) my entire panel disappears completely from my
desktop environment. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've reconfigured X11 so many times and in so many ways
I suspect I may have a bug in the system. In particular I've concentrated
on XF86Configs monitor and graphics device sections. Any advice or
suggestions would be appreciated. I don't suppose a simple way exists
to understand the "core" dumped in my gdm?
