Does it start OK with the startx command? If not, look into configuring your xserver using: # xf86config or through #/stand/sysinstall (recommended route) there should be a .xsession file in you users directory, it should be owned by the user and, executable. The easiest way to do it, is to copy your .xinitrc file if you don't already have a .xsession file $ cp .xinitrc .xsession # chown <user name> .xsession #chmod 775 .xsession then try again. Also, look in the .xsession-errors file that has been created in the users home directory. This file will tell you what went wrong. Cheers, Chris R.
