yes, what ocicat said is my problem. I assumed running "X -config xxx.config" would also run the xinitrc as startx does. The xclock, xterm, and xconsole don't start though and the mouse buttons don't seem to do anything although the default fvwm background is there. It's hard for me to work on because its not really an error, it just doesn't work as I expected. I suppose if its not running xinit then thats the problem other than the mouse buttons not working. That mouse behavior is not defined in a startup script is it? I can move the cursor around but clicking doesn't open a menu. Tomorrow I will copy that xorg.conf to the default directory and see if startx uses it and still starts the rest of the stuff. If so I have succeeded in wasting more of everyones time. You understand your replies will only encourage me to post more questions

I love this OS though. The purpose of this new machine is to try and run QEMU and a ReactOS virtual machine.
