Hi, I have installed Debian 2.2.r2 ok. I have a Geforce II Card so had to install X4 and the Nvidia Kernel modules. X4 was installed using the Xinstall script, on top of my existing 3.3 installation. Created a XF86config file ok, this works fine. When I boot up, I get a graphical login box (plain white) on a grey background. I log in and get a grey screen with a small white terminal window top left with a prompt. You cant move the window. I can start say wmaker by typing this at the prompt and it starts up fine but I cant get it to boot into wmaker automatically ( or anything else for that matter). Someone suggested checking I my .xinitrc file in my home directory. There isnt one probably because its never run before. And there is no default xinitrc in any other directorys. I created a file called xinitrc with a line: exec wmaker
and put this in my home directory and rebooted and it didnt work. XDM starts up ok, but I am confused as to where files should now be stored. It seems I have files under /etc/X11/ .... and /usr/X11R86/ ..... Please Help! TIA Wayne.
