allright.

I'm gonna try to get another mouse because I think that my be the problem, but I'm pretty sure this one works.

Is there a way to get into programs using the keyboard only? Most of the regular kde shortcuts dont work. I think just getting into the terminal thing IN kde would be sufficient, because if I hit crlt-alt-backspace, to kill x or whatever, and then type in the name of almost any program on dsl, it'll think about it for a second, then give me a message that it "cant open display" or "cant connect to x" or other things like that which I assume are caused from not being in kde and it thinking I'm in kde. I really only need flwriter to work if that helps.

there is one program (that I found) that works outside kde and that's links.

Thanks, Phil

Actually, the DSL window manager is called "Fluxbox", not KDE.

To get an xterminal window to appear, boot with:

dsl 2 vga=normal

type su dsl

and then edit your .xinitrc file:

nano /home/dsl/.xinitrc

add a new line with

rxvt &

directly above the

fluxbox &

line and save the file and exit nano.

Then type

startx

and you should get an rxvt terminal window already opened up.
