Hi curaga noticed you used opera for irc so thought I'd try it and used the full version to try out the irc node it worked well so decided to remove chromium-browser to save space and use opera as browser/irc client.However after removing it, on start up with frame buffer there is usually a momentary grainy grey hashed screen before the normal home screen, this persisted and the home screen did not appear.If I pressed the mouse button I could get the application box and select WBAR edit facility etc.I could get a command prompt so reinstalled chromium-browser.tcz using tce-load -wi chromium-browser.tcz and after rebooting all back to normal.To my Very limited knowledge removing chromium-browser must have removed a dependancy of Xfbdev,was that because I used a tcz that was not in the repo or do dependancies need to be looked at, there seemed to be an awful lot .
Now keeping chromium and Opera for the time being,Thanks for the help.
