Thanks to Philippe Troin and others for the solution to my problem where
startx created a window which then aborted and returned the screen to
text mode.
Solution: add the line /usr/X11R6/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf
then rerun ldconfig
All was then well. The mouse problem where the mouse cursor would only move
vertically was a separate problem, essentially mechanical. Cleaning the mouse
droppings from the mouse's running gear cured that.
Regards, Richard

I like this. It kind of goes along with a suggestion I made
earlier about release management.
Steffan Mueller also brought up an interesting point in an
e-mail he sent me: the professional distribution should
have a logo that conveys the intent of the release. When
I voted on the last batch of Debian logos, I had a bias
towards the "cuter" ones (with the penguin), but now I think
we might benefit from a more professional look. Or perhaps
two variation on a similar theme - one emphasizing "cuteness"
or "coolness" and the other emphasizing "elegance" and
"stability".
The distinction could be made by varying the relative sizes
of the elements in the logo. ie. Larger, solid looking
text with a small cartoon for the professional edition,
smaller text with a larger 'toon for the hacker edition.
Regards...
... Ami.
