Hi,

Well, the #!/bin/sh at the top forces the use of /bin/sh which probably links to bash.

I would check /etc/profile for corruption along with ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile if they exist.

What kind of logins are you talking about? Window PC, linux/unix shell, or X?

Hi

You don't say which window manager you are using so the easiest way to fix your problem is to open an xterm and run xscreensaver-demo. Click on the Advanced tab and check the box for "Grab Desktop Images" on the Image Maniplation pane (this is the top left pane on the advanced tab).

You know, for a job like this I would use awk instead. The data is space delimited and appears to be a log file which is a perfect case for awk.

You can use the <ctrl>+<F2> key combination to switch to virtual console number two and work from there (the livecd level). you should be able to `cp -L /etc/resolv.conf ...

/etc/make.conf is still around for your local edits. The profile is unsupported so you might as well upgrade a 2006.x one. The desktop subdirectory is pretty nice.

Wow, weird.

Do you got any EEs or other oddness in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Is this a laptop? What kind? I got the same card in an MSI 1013 running in 32bit mode with the ATI drivers.

Do you have the fglrx option turned on for VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/make.conf?

1) these are apples and oranges. r128.ko is the kernel driver, the xorg driver directory is for X. The r128 that is supposed to be in the xorg folder comes from x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.6.3. Do you have this emerged?

Are the cables the same?

What is probably happening is CD or DTR is dropping causing the server to think the line has been dropped. If the cables are the same, you got clocal or some other serial setting out of whack. Check stty on both boxes:
