Hi, i just installed xorg on my slackware desktop, but when i try to run X it comes up with this error "cannot load core modules" Or somthjing like tht, anyway i looked at the log adn it says "cannot load keyboard" and "cannot load monitor", it loads my video card and mouse fine, but tht doesnt matter it wont boot X without keyboard and monitor.
Thanks In advance.
Sam.

These are teh problems in oder, "failed to intialize core device", no core keyboard, faild to load module keyboard (module does not exist), no input driver "keyboard".
When it tries to start X up, do a Cntrl+ALT+Backspace
press all 3 keys at the same time
it will eventually give up trying to boot into Xwindows. Then you can e-mail yourself the xorg.conf file or something.
