Hi Meghan- > Now I am getting some different (and some of the same) > errors. The main window appears briefly and then crashes. > > The log file generated is attached. The error log shows it is still looking for the DRI module: An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM. Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x8C508C61 Function=(null) Library=/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/r128_dri.so so I think the xorg.conf still needs to be fixed or you need to log out and log back in to restart the X server.
