Please excuse what may be a very basic question, and direct me to sources of suitable documents if that is more appropriate, but I have to learn somehow.At home I run RiscBSD 1.3Alpha on a 37Mb, Arm610 RiscPC. RiscBSD has about a 700Meg partition on a 2Gb disk. I always log on as root, not having worked out how to set other accounts with rights to become su.When I try to run Xarm33 with the command startx, I get four windows: a clock top right, two windows titled xterm at the right side and one labelled login at the left. The twoo wterm windows fall off the right of the screen (no resize icon on the title bars), and the windows which come to the bottom of the screen. The mouse is not responsive, as the message on the main screen when I exit from X shows. I have obviously not got the keyboard set up properly as the cursor keys, nor their equivalents on the numeric keypad work move the cursor.Initial console: 0RiscBSD X Server #33 (Acorn Show)width = 800, height = 600, depth = 8mmap(0, 79300, PROT_READ | PROT_
