Hi Bruce,
If you can fire up any window manager, it should allow you to manipulate your windows, bail out cleanly, or whatever you'd like to do (go back to Yast and turn off 3D, etc).
For KDE, the window manager is /opt/kde3/bin/kwin, if I'm not mistaken. If there is one terminal window available in which you can type a command, try that and see if it starts the window manager.
Oops, now I've just read that you are using Gnome. OK, same thing applies, but substitute in the name of the Gnome window manager. I don't know what that might be, unfortunately. I'm sure somebody else will chime in with that information.
Try this: /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-wm - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF6NWwHl0iXDssISsRAlMrAJ9Cs61hrvkS20MNoy81u79vRiOmbACeM3ZQ 7KSGDgmN7rzzFJ9BGilpwbQ= =2+Lo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
