you probably just have X misconfigured, log in as root, then you need to check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, look towards the end and see what the error is, see if you can determine the cause, then edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fix it

if you can't determine the cause you could try the default vesa config file, just move it into the proper location

Code:
#make a backup first
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa /etc/X11/xorg.conf
after updating you xorg.conf you can try it out with `startx`

if you can't figure it out, then its probably a good idea to post you /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf

thank you for your advise..
i did not make a backup for my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
after update the xorg.conf the file seem to be crashed.

so i try to install the slackware again
and i choose ps/2 for my mouse and disable the gpm program.
then startx can load normally and succesfull.

why i choose ps/2 and disable the gpm program because from the xorg.conf in previous installation said that "cannot open core device" something like that
so i think that i should try to use common setting like ps/2 and disable gpm program so that it would not start at boot.

it is correct?
and if in the future i had the same problem what is the action should i take to resolve it.
