Just installed linux; will not boot x

I installed slackware 10.1 on a second computer. Whenever i try to load x i get a black screen. alt-ctrl backspace will get me back to the console but there is a ton of errors. Knoppix loaded up just fine and booted to a good screen size so i dont think that is the problem. I am thinking the cd might have a scratch on it and messed up the install. Any advice before I start making new install cds?

Once you reboot after the install and log in as root did you run xorgconfig. See slack like others doesn't set x up for you.Maybe you know that though.Once you run through xorgconfig and it writes the file do startx.Now you will need your monitor info as well your video info.

it said it was a problem between kde and x or something like that. I dont have the computer infront of me of course.
