You're off to a decent start. At this point I would have a look at one of the 2 Xorg config apps (they escape me off hand - but I'm sure one of the fine list folks will lend that to you). OR - edit the Xorg conf file by hand - if you are a newb, then I strongly suggest the Xorg conf utils (Here again, unless one of the fine folks can paste to you what the approximate lines out to be).

A really quick fix (for the mouse) is call up sysinstall and go to Configure, then Mouse. Choose Number 3 (Type) then config from there OR go right to Number 2 (Enable) Once you have the rodent configed via sysinstall, that ought to plop the needed lines in /etc/rc.conf (your mileage may vary, standard disclaimers apply). This is just one way of trying it - you could run the Xorg config utils, or if you are brave, edit the Xorg conf file by hand. -- Best regards, Chris Fingerprint: 4201 94F9 E77F 9357 F3F3 56B7 8D20 ECC7 1AB5 FEF8 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: How to start Gnome2-lite
Guys I have managed to to do what you say and now when I type in startx, it does show me a box saying "This session is running as a privileged user" and asking me to either COntinue or Quit. My mouse isnt working at this stage and I cant press either of the buttons. Neither is tab or space or alt c working. What to do? Your help is much appreciated I am running as root because this machine is not used for any other purpose, behind a firewall, not connected to any other machine and is only being used for testing little utilities.

Re: How to start Gnome2-lite
notice i typed ~/.xinitrcnot /.xinitrc see the "~"
the ~/ means your home diretcory
ie /root if your logged in as root
and you typed
cd ~/
it would cd you into /root
if you were logged in as siraj and you typed cd ~/
it would cd you into /home/siraj ...
follow...?
so vi ~/.xinitrc

The "gnome-session" line needs to be in ${HOME}/.xinitrc, which also
needs to have permissions 700 at least.
