When I did this I opted to make Gnome my main overlay (not sure the correct term for this). I use KDE in Linux so I thought this would be a great chance to use the competition..so to say. Well if I use startx the system comes up into what looks like Aftersomething (not sure, never used this before). If I type gnome-session from the command line I get the following error: gtk-warning **: cannot open display X Windows starts and runs just fine, so I'm confused as to what the problem could be. My system is as follows: Dell P3-500 BX 128mb ATI Rage Pro Xfree 3.1.1.1 Any help is appreciated.
