X broken on second etch install attempt


Ive just set up an etch install, first try i installed straight from cd and i was unable to log into x at all, this is my second attempt and i didnt do a full install . I decided to try install xorg via apt after wards. I think i have x set up correctly ,but im unable to get a correct x session set up ive edited the xinit file to start flux box but i get onto a blue screen and no menus or anything come up. Sorry if this is formatted teribly or the question has been asked recently, this site isnt the best under lynx. Thanks for any, I'll calrify anything needed, this just isnt the best browser. Thanks for any help.

okay ignore that, it was a bug with the xorg setup, all i needed to do was a quick dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, the first time i wasnt asked about my card just the resolution after setting the right chipset everything was fine
