I finally achieved my hd install of dsl. Rebooted my coomputer and there are no graphics on the monitor. No elephants, no icons.  Did I do something wrong?  I tried right click, desktop, etc., etc. but still nothing.

Sina :(

Try changing the resolution and color depth for your video. It sounds like your color depth is set too low.

Press CONTROL-ALT-BACKSPACE to exit graphical mode and then type:

xsetup.sh

and then choose a different resolution and color depth.

Then type "startx" to return to graphical mode.

Hmmm.
CONTROL-ALT-BACKSPACE does nothing. It does not take me out of graphical mode.  Still blank screen.

This is not good.

Does CONTROL-ALT-DEL cause Linux to shut down?

It causes the computer to reboot.
sudo shutdown -h now
will shut down the computer.
