Dual boot Dell laptop with slack 14.0 installed.
Everything was working fine, and last night I was configuring slack to access my shared printer on the windows network. was able to get to printing a test page with no errors on the linux machine, but the printer was just sitting there with "printing" on the display but nothing printing. so I shut everything down and was going to try again this morning.
Went to startx and have the following message: (similar message as root).
I apologize for the quality of the following text, I was using vi and highlighting text from one terminal window into another terminal with vi open. then copying that into the windows directory on this laptop. (since I don't have x).
******** startx with xfce as wm *******

****What I did notice was
/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
and tried $startx -- :1 but it still won't load the xwindow
**** I can change the window manager to twm and get that to display, so somethings working.
****When I shutdown slack last night I used the logout button in xfce instead of ctrl+alt+BS and typing $"shutdown -h now" as #.
Since this is a fresh install it would be easier for me to just wipe the partition and reinstall, but I would rather fix the problem and learn from it.
Slackware sure has changed from when I was introduced with ver. 7.2
If you need any more info please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
