I just installed Slackware 8.1 on a PC with 64 MB RAM, 64MB nVIDIA Geforce 2 MX 420, 350 mHZ Pentium II processor, and a 6.5 gig hard drive. I designated enlightenment as my default window manager during the install. I type startx at the root promt and I get a black screen for about 30 seconds then I get the famous no screens found error. Any suggetions guys??? I really need some help here. Thanks :)

Could you post the output of

grep EE /var/log/XFree*log


and you /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file?



You might also want to try out hwd...
http://amlug.org/new-projects/hwd/hwd.html

Be sure to get the source, not the archlinux package.

It will generate an /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.hwd file, which you can copy to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and see if that will let you use X.
