X and Fluxbox :: Reconfiguring X on Boot

I finally got online today. Dillo or Firefox is very, very slow scrolling on any web page. Do you think it's the 64MB RAM or a Framebuffer xserver issue? I am running 800x600 16bit Framebuffer.

Both. Fbdev does not have the shadow option which speeds up scrolling on Vesa a lot.
With Xtrident you should get anything 2d fast.

Then the only change needed is to edit .xserverrc in your home directory to point into it (/opt/bin/Xtrident) instead of Xfbdev (keep the arguments).

When I changed .xserverrc to point to /opt/bin/Xtrident I get the following error on startx;

giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (erro 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (erro 3): Server error

As a side note, /opt/bin/Xtrident does exist. This is a frugal install, does that matter?

From a console;

ls -l /opt/bin/Xtrident
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 751800 Apr 3 2007 /opt/bin/Xtrident

Here's the entire new .xserverrc

exec /opt/bin/Xtrident -2button -mouse /dev/psaux -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null

The other bit of information that I can think of that may be pertinent is that I setup 3 partitions for the frugal install per this guide;
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-26-8732-0.html

hda1 is for the image
hda2 is swap
hda3 is /home and /opt

Maybe my .xserverrc should be;

exec /mnt/hda3/opt/bin/Xtrident -2button -mouse /dev/psaux -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null

I did check before running startx and /mnt/hda3 is mounted. Then again, shouldn't /opt/bin be in the path? This is confusing. Any help?

Edit: I did check and /opt/bin is in the $PATH
Edit 2: exec /mnt/hda3/opt/bin/Xtrident produced the same errors.

Anyone, please help me get this Xtrident xserver running.

What happens if you run it from the console (outside of X)? ie not startx, just Xtrident without any options.
