Startx - almost home!
Well, I decided I was far enough behind the 8-ball to just reinstall the
potato. So I increased Swap space as recommended, modified the XF86config
file to fix the mouse problem, keyboard problem, and screen depth problem,
and now I get a beautiful startup screen when I hit 'startx'. Wow, was it
ugly in just 256 colors! Looking good so far.
So my final questions....
1. I installed Gnome, why am I not getting kicked into Gnome when I do
'startx'? I think I am in just WindowMaker. I have the Main icon in upper
left, and three on the right. How do I do the Gnome thing?
2. I have PS/2 mouse type selected, but I am using the Mac mouse via the
ADB port on the keyboard. Can I just plug a PS/2 mouse in the ADB port? I
have the adapter to fit. I thought I'd ask before trying to corral one up.
