Hi Thanks again for the help and the no HTML-mail and I will do line breaks. With the help of this site I have fixed most of my problems. #1 When I logout of the X11 Gnome desktop screen I get several error messages. Different if logged in as root and connor **WARNING** COBRA Exception (inner most last) (example of one message) /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py line 130 in__apply__ret self(func.a) There is a screen full of messages and I can not find any log that has the errors. Ends with a MemoryError They are applet errors under /usr/lib/python1.5. I am trying to >> the screen to a file. No luck so far. My config file or drivrs must have problems. I downloaded and installed and NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.rh73up_2.4.18_10.athlon.rpm NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.i386.rpm Anyone have any ideas on the COBRA exception? Need more information? #2 an aside issue. "As the error description <boot problem> is very general ..." I have sent an email to RedHat for the boot problem. These are the messages that I receive when I boot from my HD. If you know of another newbie site or a resource that may help I appriciate it. Booting 'Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-10)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs,partition type 0x83 kernal /vmlimu2-2.4.18-10 ro root=/dev/hda2 [Linux-bzImage,setup=0x1400,size=0xff8b0] Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory Press any key to continue...

Should be no Problem, as your graphic card could do (theoretical) a resolution of 3739x2991 with 32 MB video memory, but that would probably burn your monitor ;-). My PC runs at 1600x1200 with a TNT2 and the nvidia-driver. > Second, When I quit the GUI it causes a memory fault.

I've never used Redhat, but the log is needed to help you.=20 > COBRA error - followed by applet errors and finally a MemoryError > followed by 'waiting for X server to shutdown' message. The "waiting for X server to shutdown" is a normal message from X11 - the last one on the console and in the log. Maybe you should do a pstree while running X11 and look, which progs are started. Try to throw out the ones you don't need and see if some errors disappear. > I ran up2date and several package were selected.

As the error description is very general I can't think of more. > I tried to run Xconfigurator and it hangs my system and I have to Are you sure your system hangs?! I know that some X-Config Programs don't really hang, but are using very much time to detect the hardware, try to change to another console or wait 10-20 minutes. > do a install / upgrade to get it to boot again.
