total newbie. just getting started

dual boot Linux/Win98

Install of linux went fine. configured X to Mach 64 server. when i 
try to startx the screen goes blank.

The only reference I can find in the documents is to "free a getty 
process." I haven't a clue what this means, but looked in 
/etc/inittab. Six lines for getty, tty1-- tty6. nothing for tty7 or 
8.

Big TIA
