I you have a video card that can be accelerated under one of the other X servers (like SVGA) I'd use that. Last I looked, the fbdev X server didn't do accelleration, which really dogs the system. Shouldn't that line be: panel & But, you need to do 'gnome-name-service &' first. You weren't trying to do that from an su'ed terminal, now were you? Try a .xinitrc (.xsession) like: #!/bin/sh xterm & esd & gnome-name-service & panel & exec icewm You can set-up all the gnome stuff and use the session manager from the panel. Then you can change .xinitrc (--> .xsession) to #!/bin/sh exec gnome-session -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
