Subject: [Rev.] startx won't start x..

==========================================================
I USED TO BE PH9991_HALL@uwrf.ed BUT MY NEW ADDRESS IS:
James.F.Hall@uwrf.edu
==========================================================

I seem to have forgotten to mention the error messages that I got when
asking for help in getting XWindows to run (please note the address
has changed.)

What follows is the file I got when using the command:
    startx 2> startx.err

I am using the 1.03 of SLS release. I followed what docs I could find
and wrote a .initrc file, which contains the lines shown in the man
page on startx.

I did try to answer my question on my own using the docs and faq's,
but I am getting lost.

FYI - Getting X to run is the next-to-last item on my "to-do" list
before I declare my system completely tailored to my needs. Thanks
for the help for this newbie. :-)
