The solution is easy - run startx (or xinit) instead of X, which is a symbolic link to the Xserver. Remember to add /usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/X11R6/lib to your PATH. You can provide your own .xinitrc in your home directory, if you don't like the default one (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc). Have you run /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config? Bogusz
