Mount it manually, then. Plug drive in, dmesg | tail to see which device node it got assigned to, mkdir /mnt/usb , mount /dev/sd?1 /mnt/usb . (It's not that you can't copy files to the disk, it's that you don't know how to do it.) >> This is an X problem IIRC. The module being referred to is the X >> module, not a kernel module.

It's an abbreviation for the X11 Window System, which drives graphics cards and input devices on Linux/*BSD systems. You probably have an executable called /usr/bin/X on your system. > Tried editing out the line referring to "v4l" and rebooted, but > that did not bring back "X" No reboot was necessary. Just restarting X should've showed you if it had worked. Did /var/log/Xorg.0.log change? It would be a good idea to post that file too, since there are probably some things in there that would be useful to see. The whole file, not excerpts, even though 90% of the X log is usually useless.... >> grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf >> lspci | grep VGA > VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility Right, so the xorg.conf grep should've showed either radeon or fglrx. Those are the Free and proprietary X modules that drive those cards. This is all very strange to me, since installing virtualbox shouldn't have changed *anything* with the X config. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
