Are you already running X? Have you configured X? What is the output of: $ /usr/X11R6/bin/X 2>&1 | tee /tmp/X.out (this will save your X session output to a file /tmp/X.out). If X launches successfully (you'll see a herringbone pattern and large "X" shaped mouse pointer), switch back to a virtual console and run an xterm: $ xterm -display :0 & ...switching back to X again, try to run icewm, or another windowmanager (twm or fvwm are nice, simple, and very stable for this purpose). Report back with your findings. -- Karsten M.
