startx from console. I'm not running a session manager.
I get the the gray screen with the cursor in the middle then nothing.
I have to CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to get out.
Funny thing is I have had it working before, but with ICE instead
of TWM. I will try and install ICE again and see if that works.
I will also try a 2.4.26 kernel and see what happens.
According to what I've read on the net XFREE86 isn't recognising my
graphics card.
Thanks
Chris.
