Help needed: Xcdroast, Xdm, Afterstep

[Antonio Rodriguez <arodriguez@worldnet.att.net>]

Xcdroast:
There seems to be a problem in my setup that I can't figure out. My
Cdwriter is the second in the second controller, the reader is Atapi
36-x (first in second controller).
I start it, but it seems unable to read the Cd to be copied sitting in.
Scsi support is present in the kernel image, both cdrs are atapi, (ACER
36-x max and HP7200).

Xdm:
What happened to the color console?, when I start the system the log in
window comes gray.

Afterstep:
When I change the windows manager from icewm to afterstep it just puts
me back to the login window, and doesn't get any afterstep to work.
Afterstep is installed, with status OK.

Thanks for any help.
Antonio.
