I installed xxfbd.tgz and devs.tgz and I added this line to the end of the 
batch file used to boot with bzimage (bare.i).  I then typed (with CAPITAL 
X) James' line (with a different screen size and color depth)

Xvesa -mouse /dev/psaux,5 -screen 1024x768x16 -shadow -nolisten tcp -I 
&>/dev/null 
[all on one line]

I got the grey patterned screen that usually comes on before the colored 
one arrives using the other system for loading X, with a little x in the 
middle that moves around when I move the PS/2 mouse, but no colors and no 
xterm.

Does Xvesa use .xinitrc and if not how do I load icewm and the keyboard 
corrections for backspace and delete keys?  I tried just adding icewm to 
this line with no luck.
