I have just done a clean install from a 1.2.2 CDROM and am having troubles starting X. I got the base system installed, and then installed the X stuff. I selected xbase, xserver-vga16, fvwm2, and xserver-svga for the initaial install. I did allow xdm to set up. upon reboot, I get the nice xlogin widget, and if i enter a bad login it works properly, ie it says improper login. If I login correctly, I get a band of static along the top of the screen and then x restarts and I have the login widget again.
A look at the errors on the console identifies that PEX ecxtension not loaded and XIE extension not loaded. I kill xdm with /etc/init.d/xdm stop and try just starting it with startx, same thing. If I just run X, however, I get a blank grey screen with a cursor and no window manager. I tried loading the xext module to fix this but get the same messages. How do I kill this problem, and get X working correctly? Thanks Randy
