Hi Jude:
Don't use twm or icewm as window managers - for best results you'll want
to install and run the Gnome desktop env which includes the metacity
window manager. Starting "gnome-session" after startx may work for
you.
regards
Bill

So far earlier today I had a non-graphical system as a base line. After
having done aptitude update and aptitude upgrade and installing all
upgrades I decided to try installing xserver-xorg and gnopernicus to see
if they'll play nicely together. So, aptitude install xserver-xorg
--with-recommends then aptitude install gnopernicus --with-recommends got
me a few megs worth of files installed. Upon rebooting I noticed speakup
still comes up and whatever x environment may or may not be functional on
this system did not attempt to start and fail. Much nicer than installing
debian desktop from tasksel. Some other notes I chose isa:1 for monitor
type and told the system to talk to the monitor for further information
and not use the frame buffer to get its information. This is a pretty
modern monitor and definitely not an rgb model either. So before I try
running startx and then running gnopernicus -s to see if the X environment
wants to talk is there anything else I neglected to do? The sound card is
functional and plays podcasts fine and I ran alsa-conf and alsactl store
against it earlier too. I've heard twm is a disaster and don't know if
that is installed or not and can get icewm for this system too if it would
work better for this level of accessibility.
