Well, I tried a different kernel. Same thing. I tried reseting the |
| 55 |
BIOS and lurking around in there for a bit as well. Same thing. So, |
| 56 |
right now I'm chewing on a emerge -e kde-meta. After I remembered the |
| 57 |
power failure the other day, I suspect a corrupt file somewhere. I'm |
| 58 |
just glad I have Fluxbox on here. I'm in it right now and it works OK. |
| 59 |
I just wish the little bar at the bottom was larger. So far, nothing I |
| 60 |
click changes that. Tough on my eyes too. Teeny tiny stuff down |
| 61 |
there. o_o |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Thinking back, I should have booted the CD and run file system checks. |
| 64 |
Crap, the one thing I didn't think of. < sighs > |

I still use Nvidia's driver here. it has worked well for me at least. |
| 67 |
I don't use any fancy hardware or play any serious games so it works |
| 68 |
well, so far at least. That may change next week. lol You know me. |
| 69 |
Something new pretty regular. |

| 71 |
I don't guess I use kdepim stuff. It's installed so who knows. Any |
| 72 |
relation to pam? |
