If you SHIFT-PAGEUP above the list of commandline parameters,
is there any kind of error message preceeding it?

Please send a copy of the exact command you are using
to start Xvesa.

Are you booting from a clean DOS (without CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT) ?

Here is another way to start Xvesa with icewm, but it
is more complicated and less flexible:

( Xvesa -terminate -screen 640x480x16 & ); sleep 2; DISPLAY=:0 icewm

The above line assumes that both Xvesa and icewm are 
executable and that both are in your PATH.

Cheers,
