X is currently being started by xdm I believe. The system start twm as the current default WM and I am not getting any error messages just not the WM I want. I didn't have any .xinitrc files on the system so after reading the other message I created one even though it didn't seem to do anything. Currently my .xinitrc file simply says 'echo gnome-session'.

What window manager are you getting? What error messages are you getting, if X isn't starting up? Post your .xinitrc. -- Karsten M.
