I've got an odd one for you. I have my HP nc4010 laptop running with the ati driver. All seems well, I'm capable of good performance at max resolution. I can startx and get into an xorg-twm session just fine. I try to run startxfce4, however, and it just sits there at the watch. No blinking mouse, nothing. Any ideas?
[EDIT] This problem started when I tried to start the compositor. I forgot to take a look at the .xml file before adding the entry to my xorg.conf.
When I restarted XFCE for the first time after the edit, it locked on me and I haven't been able to get in since. Tried a remove / reinstall, no luck.

w00t
never mind, figured out that all I had to do was name my XFCE4 direcotries in ~/./.config to .old and restart and it fixed it.

actually, I was a bit hasty. It won't let me bring down the resolution. It insists upon starting me at this tiny resolution 2000+ x something. When I try and lower the resolution, it won't let me get back in.
That,a nd I don't have a compositor tab in my window manager tweaks control panel, nor do I have a HOME/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/wmtweaks.xml file.
Any ideas?

Nice bit of stick-to-it-iveness, RecoveringGentooholic !
I suppose talking to yourself is ok, as long as you don't answer yourself.
He can answer himself if he wants to. Freedom of Speech!
Um, that's not what I meant.
Well, you should say what you mean, shouldn't you?
Shut up.
Well!
P.S. I'm coming from Gentoo as well. Been a week since I booted into Gentoo. A nice easy, productive week, I might add.
P.P.S. Do you really think he cares about that?
P.P.P.S. I told you to shut up!
