Re: xf86config
Sounds like you need to add some lines to the .xinitrc file in your home
directory. If it's not there, create one. A good start would be
something like this:
xterm &
<window manager>
Of course, substitute whatever window manager you want to use (e.g.
sawmill, enlightenment, fvwm2, etc.) If you want gnome, use something
like this:
xterm &
<window manager> &
panel &
gnome-session
This assumes you've already installed things like xterm, gnome-panel,
gnome-core, gnome-session, and other gnome goodies. Good luck!
