    Steve,

    So you are getting an X Server but you are not getting a desktop.

    Is scologin enabled? If not, can you enable scologin and login via this

    interface and see if you get a desktop?

    Are you using the default desktop or have you modified the desktop
    that you are using in any way?

    I have asked that we include some doc on CD 2 that explains how
    to get started with SCT.

    What is the exact startx command you are issuing? You havent been
    playing with
    xinit or a $HOME/.xinitrc have you?
