   Now, been there..done that. I reinstalled most of the groups I had 
including the basic x system. No joy. It now appears the mesa drivers in 
18 will not run on my  (ancient - Intel 865B MB) machine. There have 
been a bug or two reported but it seems that attitude is " buy a newer 
machine" :)
Ah well.. back to 17 I guess.
