    Try to reconfigure your x-server settings:

    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    (you need to be root to do that)

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    thanks for help/replies
    startkde, is not available on this system, because on this machine only GNOME is installed.

    one more thing when I ran "yast", I got the following error
    #yast
    warning: the ncurses frontend is installed but does not work
    You need to install yast2-ncurses to use the YaST2 text mode interface
    I have yast2-ncurses installed
    # rpm -q yast2-ncurses
    yast2-ncurses-2.13.40-1.2

    Plz help
