"dialog" doesn't have anything to do with X; it is a text-based "windowing" environment used for asking questions of you during various stages of configuration. For example, when you install kdm or gdm, and a text-based "window" pops up and asks if you want to use kdm or gdm, that's the "dialog" program that draws that "window". Other programs besides "dialog" can be used, and that's what you were asked when you chose "dialog", but "dialog" is probably the best app for most people. So, your problem with X lies elsewhere. I'd suggest running "startx", and report any errors that are generated. You can see the last few lines after X fails to start on the text screen, which will usually point at the culprit, or you can look in the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.o.log" (or "XFree86.0.log"). Chances are it's something simple, like failure to start the mouse (pointer). -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
