help! I have removed gdm via update-rc.d with no errors now when I try tostart x (via X) I just get a mouse pointer and & gray background (sort of like when you first installed X w/o any window managers, etc) so I created my .xinitrc file thinking that X would read that but still nothing. so next I created an .Xsession file but still nothing... I am using the latest xfree86-4 with helix-gnome.
My xinitrc file looks like this: #!/bin/sh exec gnome-panel & exec sawfish & exec gnome-session & xterm exit 0
