PS.
4MLinux has its own forum here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/4mlinux-115/

I can see only that.
What should I do?

In fact, your question has already been answered above.

This what you have:

Code:

cupsd 2>/dev/null
/usr/share/server/autostart.sh 2>/dev/null &
modprobe binfmt_script 2>/dev/null

And this is what you should have:

Code:

cupsd 2>/dev/null
/usr/share/server/autostart.sh 2>/dev/null &
modprobe binfmt_script 2>/dev/null
startx

NOTE:
Keep in mind that the above is insecure! Everybody (who will start your 4MLinux) will enter X with full administrator privileges.
On the other hand, this the way how 99% of Windows installations work :-)
