I will post my config file some time. We are leaving for a real
analog piano concert now.

Also helpful would be the complete log. When you run X, add:

----------------------
2>stderrlog >stdoutlog
----------------------

to the end of the command line. Then send stderrlog and stdoutlog.
These may help greatly with tracking this problem down.

Okay.
startx consists of the lines
xinit
touch /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

.xinitrc:
export DISPLY=localhost:0.0 (this came from Steven)
rxvt &
exec icewm &
rxvt &

(I added the last so as to start with an rxvt)

By great good fortune I have a floppy disk that the laptop will read so here are the longer files:

stoutlog is 0 length

stderrlog is what I was reading you messages from about SpeedUps.

I see this after a fleeting glimpse of X.

Here is XF86Config - I deleted anything remarked out to save space.
