I haven't installed a wm yet, but when I try to call up the generic x windows by typing "startx" they do indeed appear, but all three of the x windows are locked up. By that I mean that there is no mouse, and no possibility of entering data in the windows via the keyboard. Totally frozen. And you can't get out of x in the usual manner i.e. ctrl-alt-backspace. The only thing that works is ctrl-alt-del which, of course, reboots the computer. Any ideas are appreciated. Rem
