Re: [XFree86] black and white

[Mark Vojkovich]

  Perhaps you don't really have kde or the utility you are using
is broken or misused?  It sounds like you're running without a window 
manager.  The window manager is started from your .xinitrc file or
the system's xinitrc file (usually in /etc/X11/xinit).  Which is
what, I presume, "xwmconfig" modifies.

[XFree86] black and white

[Ryan]

After installing slackware newest I go to console and type
xwmconfig and select KDE then I do startx. Then it loads to a black and white polka
dot screen and just sits there doing nothing. I tried deleting the config and
making a new one using xf86config and it does the same thing. I don’t
know what it could be... I have a cirrus CL-GD7548 graphics card in this 133
MHz lap top with a 12” monitor which I don’t know the specs on. Is
this a common bug or a mistake, could you please point me in the right
direction. 

 

 

Thanks,
