Once again, you've come to my aid. You helped me before with the
XFree86 installation.

Let me know when it does. Life is much nicer with sound, even they are
just annoying bells and whistles.

I am launching X from the Aqua GUI, and I have exec sw/bin/gnome-session
following exec sw/bin/enlightenment in my .xinitrc.

Curiously however, when trying to launch w/ startx from either the
command line or when logged in as >console, I get a command not found.
I did a 'find' and located it the 'Darwin-ppc/bin' folder and attempted
to run it from there, only to get an 'init: command not found" error.
'init' is also in Darwin-ppc/bin and executable. Obviously, I did
something wrong somewhere - like failing to put the appropriate path in
a file needed by startx. Is this the case, and if so, what file does
startx use?

Thanks once again!
