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.

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... ...
