cant start my X window!
 

hi i hev a trouble loading my x window, when i type startx my monitor just go blank and the indicator light was flickering. but it was before i change my, i think window manger from my default display (mdkkde or kde) to gnome.

im using mandrake 10.

how can i restore my previous window?

i hev tried to used switchdesk but i cant find it! i think i dont have it or it is not installed.

other similar thread cant help to solve my problem.

type in xwmconfig

choose a window manager and startx again

see if that works

i cant find xwmconfig, do i have to install it! im using mandrake 10

??

do a trick

create a new user #useradd username
#passwd username
then login to that user and tries to start X
$startx

may be it would work

Or pop open an editor and edit that funky .xinitrc file that's so beautifully nested in the home directory after you put it there. lol
