Re: X woes (potato)
I had something similar happen to me. What i found was the problem was that
the xinitrc file was setup incorrectly.
Basically i had to correct a line i had mistyped to do with xinitrc.
(Although this, it must be said, gave the problem both with XDM and
startx).
I don't know if this helps
Cheers
JOE
