When I log out of XFCE 4.4 The screen just goes blank, I think the proplem is with slim, all was fine until I installed slim. Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Usually SLiM comes back - although it may take a while. Does your screen just stay blank?

If so, you can always try restarting the X server or just killing SLiM alltogether from one of the available ttys.

yes it just stays blank, should I just ditch slim and use xdm?

Slim usually takes a long time to get back, try resetting dm using ctrl-alt-backspace

Howcome slim takes so long to re-appear, it used to annoy me before I dropped it. Seems as though its testing different resolutions before deciding upon the best.

yea why does it take so long? I wouldnt think it would take 35+ sec to return with a 2.5 core 2 duo and 4gigs of ram. Might as well just ditch it if it takes that long. how is xdm on times ?
