Hello,

System:
Celeron 433
128 Mb Ram
3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 video card AGP (16Mb)

When configuring X Windows during installation, the test screen displays
successfully.

On bootup, I login with no problems (X Windows not configured to boot
automatically).  When I type startx, the problems begin.

I get a blue screen with the mouse pointer as a black X.  I have a small
window top left with the command prompt, as well as another window with the
command prompt that is a little larger on the bottom right.  Both prompts
are active when the mouse pointer is hovered over that window. This goes no
further.  There are no error messages.

I have set X Windows to automatically boot but get something slightly
different.  The screen is blue with a small window saying login and
password.  This is not the normal KDE login, but more a text based window.

When at the prompts (after trying startx),  I have tried typing startx
again.  I get a message stating that the server is already running.

When hitting Ctrl Alt F12 I do notice the following messages
"The directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi does not exist
Entry deleted from font path
The directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi does not exist
Entry deleted from font path"

I'm not sure if this would cause the symptoms I have, but thought I'd put it
in anyway.

I would appreciate it if someone could find the time to help me out.

Thanks,
Brett
