Just type X and start the server. It'll take the guess work out of a lot
of stuff. Once X starts up, switch to a vc, set DISPLAY and launch your
window manager. 


Wouldn't it be funny if everything was fine, but there was no default
window manager set? X would start up, then promptly exit..... 

If I ever create a linux distribution, I'll have to remember to do that.
I could call it BOFH Linux :)
