On a second look - now there is a residual problem.
startx works.  When I exit to the ordinary shell, my
power-save shuts off my monitior (the one that auto shuts
off the monitor when you leave it running a long time)

As a result,  I have then no display.  Working in the dark,
I can hit Alt-F4 and the screen powers up again in X.

I am using a ATI All-in-wonder 8mB card with a KDS 19"
monitor.

I know this is off from the original problem - just thought I'd run
it by.

Thanks..
