I was able to do an init 3 and get Xgl enabled, init 5, opened a gnome session as root, ran the settings tool, everything looked good, windows wiggled, etc.  I did one reboot and xserver would lock up the system with a flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner, no keyboard control to get to a second session or anything.  Would have to force a reset for a reboot.  Tried various tricks, sax2 (which would "reset" the server and I would get the test display), tried reinstalling the Nvidia Driver both as a recompile and as  install. -K and -q switches on the installer script.  I would get the Nvidia splash most of the time.  An associate in my LUG also had a similar experience where he had Xgl working one time and the xserver died for whatever reason.  Anythoughts on this?

I am going to try the touch command to get a restart  on the install process stage 2 that was mentioned in an "repair" email here today but even if I do that, I would anticipate having the Xgl problem.  I might also try killing off the xorg.conf file to get x rebuilt but I thought sax2 was basically doing that anyeay.

Clint

Thanks,
