I had a hunt within the fvwm config file (system.fvwm) and there are 
3 user definable paths that pointed toresources for X outside of 
X11R6.1 directory which doesnt exist.  I changed the paths to 
point to /usr/X11R6.1/ and it works.  Well, up to a point, but more 
of that in a mo.  This is why i was wondering earlier whether or not 
there was a problem with my installation 'cos some programs are 
looking for X resources outside of X11R6.1.

Also found a problem with 'man' looking for pages - in man.conf both 
X11 and X11R6 were defined, but no X11R6.1, so i couldnt get any help 
on anything for a while (until i changed man.conf).

Is it definitly the case that the install sets are putting everything 
into the right place and the man paths and X resources are looking in 
the wrong place, or the other way around?  I am confused.

Can you tell me how you did it then?  More or less whenever i call 
startx, X bombs out with a memory fault, sometimes gets further so i 
can start nedit, but so far hasnt lasted very long.  I am wondering 
that if David got it working OK whether there is a pysical problem with my 
memory.  (8MB board with 30 Mg swap - I am going to have a closer look at the 
physical memory to see if there is a problemt)

I second that vote - how about the current screen super-imposed on 
the blue/green one? ;o)

Hope everyone enjoys AW - unfortunatly i cant make it again 
*sigh*
