If you have a X mouse pointer and a grey background , you can do that :
_ Switch to the console mode with Ctrl+Alt+F1 .... to F6
_ Logon that console and type " export DISPLAY=:0 "
_ Launch Enlightenment with " enlightenment "
Other Tip :
_ To kill a X Server with a X mouse pointer and a grey background type
Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace , don't use the kill -9 because it can stop the X
Font Server not cleanly .

Objet: Re: [expert] Enlightenment
I tryied yesterday night.
I type startx and it switches to the GUI and after a few seconds I get a
dialog
box saying something like "starting enlightenment" and then nothing more
happens.
I only I get a mouse pointer.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Jorge Carminati.

1) Copy any .xinitrc or .Xclients to a backup.
2) create a .xinitrc with the following line:
exec enlightenment
3) type startx
This should work for you. And if you find out what all those icons, buttons
and
doodads do in the shiny metal theme, let me know :-)
