525482	2007-02-18 00:31:00	I had KDE on my Debian Sarge machine; it worked fine until recently when the screen started to flicker intermittently then it progressed to the stage where all I had was a grey-green (not sure I'm a bit colour blind) image, kind of barred, like a venetian blind. X settings looked OK, so, I removed KDE with "apt-get remove kde* --purge". This worked and I was left with TWM, as a window manager, which is a bit "retro", to say the least. But I am not getting the fault described above. So, I installed fluxbox, which was OK for a bit, then it started doing the same thing as kde did. So, I've removed it. Back to good old TWM:eek: Any ideas about what I should do to fix it? I have a kvm switch between the 2 computers, checked the connections, all good. I can still connect to the linux machine using Putty, SftpDrive or Filezilla. But sometimes it's nice playing around with a Linux GUI.	jcr1 (893)

Jen, I wouldn't know what's exciting in /var/log/XFree86/log.0.log. Here's an output, if you can see anything that could help? There's a lot of stuff there; if you'd rather not that's OK.	jcr1 (893)

All it did was remove half of the log, and then it wouldn't save with the new tags. Anyhow, here is your log I managed to salvage from your original post: XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge3 20070107160638 jmm@galadriel) Release Date: 15 August 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 i686 [ELF] Build Date: 07 January 2007 This version of XFree86 has been extensively modified by the Debian Project, and is not supported by the XFree86 Project, Inc., in any way.

But thanks anyway pctek:thumbs: Actually, from time-to-time I've had some dodgy things happen with the xserver; once, in my early "play around with linux" days I totally lost a Mandrake install (or so I thought. The basic install was still there but I didn't realise that I could get it from the command line). Basic linux is rock solid; and really that's all I need as it's a back up for my Windows stuff. But being curious, I must try out a GUI:groan:	jcr1 (893)

What happens if you bypass the KVM and hook the monitor up directly? Thanks Jen. I reconfigured the xserver using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86:nerd: . Then I reinstalled Fluxbox; and after leaving it churning away overnight, it seems fine:D So, fingers crossed. I wonder if I dare try one of the heavier desk top environments, ie KDE or Gnome yet. I'm getting to like the clean simplicity of Fluxbox:horrified	jcr1 (893)
