OK, I can't figure out how to start X in Fedora Core 3. I've got xfce installed. I tried "startx", "X", "xinit". None are found. I tried Alt-F7 but get a blank screen. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Is xorg-x11 installed? Maybe the X server is not present. I'm thinking that you have a window manager and no server. This is probably not the case, but worth a guess.

I've installed the following packages:

   xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-twm-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-xauth-6.81-12.i386.rpm
   xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm

Are there any others that might help? Only "libs" sounds like it is critical.

Thanks,
Lyle
