And after Gnome does start, my desktop is HUGE... my mouse won't go beyond the screen size but the windows that are open go WAY below my screen... I did a man gnome and saw that gdm is the preferred window manager of gnome so I am installing that now (or trying)... after it is installed, will I just be able to do a startx and it will load or do I have to change something somewhere to make gdm my default XServer?
