    every time i try to load up X it gets to the graphic interface with teh little squares/circles in the background and then hangs
    any ideas?

    i think that it might be a mouse conflict with some thing else

    This happens me too, in RH 6.0
    I can't figure it out but X works fine if I log in as root.

    Suppose I should really check the X config files in my home directory really.

    Bit shady on this while since i played with X
    But.. have a look a your .xinitrc file in your home dircetory. It executes your window manager, try also run XF86Setup, Xconfigurator and xf86config. One of those might get it sorted..

    write back .. !!

    tried everything obvious about a million times
    to no avail
    i reckon that there is mouse conflict but what can be done with one of those?

    ttbomk it was working until we got our printer working again and had to change the i/o card
