what do you see on the screen when the X-server starts? Do you see the black-and-white default background? Do you just see the monitor flicker to black an give-up? Each of these points to different problems. (The former being problems launching your window manager, and the latter being problems with your graphics configuration)

everything was fine, no problems, then I moved the mouse and the x

start and then it shuts itself down with the usual "waiting for x

to shut down" followed by the prompt.  i'm not even getting any error
messages.

what happened and what can I do to fix this?
