Thanks to Jaume for the very helpful reply.
After following the suggestion listed below I am now able to bring up a
graphical display,
but it is only an "x"(mouse cursor) on top of a coarse gray back ground. I am
not sure,
but I think I still may need to specify which Window Manager to use. Am I on
the right
track? If so, how do I tell X which window manager to bring up by default.
Thanks again for your help
