I changed the mode-def back, and it did not change anything.

I am using v3.13. The error appears in X, too.

Glad I could help. :-)
About the ppa.o module, it seems as it is much faster now Linux is
installed. I wonder why. I did not use any of the speedups you suggested.
I tried to start glint for rpm management , but it needs python
installed. This appears not to be supplied as an rpm file.
I tried to run some of the x-games (on guy wrote a lot of them, e.g.,
xsnooker, xcannon, but they all core-dump) (might be because of the
display problem).
I am interrested in using the loop device, but as I understand, I need
losetup. I have been searching for the source for it, but cannot find
it. Can you direct me to a location where I can find it?
Bernhard
