no desktop on a Dell optiplex Gx150

[mr-roboto]

I actually tried "knoppix no3d" and that fixed it. I found my 6.7 disk and it seems to fix the problem altogether.

With so little RAM and a not so-hot CPU (OptiPlex GX150s are very old), I'd stick w/ the default GUI [LXDE]. The 'L' in LXDE is for Lightweight and it's a lot less demanding than KDE....
