Black screen when running startx ?
 

After a new install of slack 12.2, Before and after running xwmconfig I get a black screen. I checked the Xorg log file and see no errors or even warnings. Trying to use KDE.

I have a feeling it is because I am using an LCD display, I remember I had to manually edit xorg before but dont remember what I did.

Is there another xorg configuration utility I can run to get KDE up and running

After looking at kdm.log theres almost nothing there and the last 2 lines read "image is a null image"
Could that have something to do with the blank screen I am getting?

I hit ctrl alt f1 and got a bunch of errors,
bad font path
cannot open knotify library
cannot open shared object file and something about artsd.

None of the desktop environments work using startx.

Should I try to reinstall KDE? using pkgtool?

what does your x logs say? (see /var/log/)

make a xorg.conf first.

I just ran xorgsetup and that seems to have fixed things, I can now run startx and the different managers fire up, except I removed KDE. :(

Is it easy to reinstall KDE?

Sorry for changing the subject....... :o

yes ...use the *better package managers* for slackware

I have the slack disks. I dont remember how to install KDE off the disks though

Ive never heard of the " better package manager "
