Did you execute:
------
startx

If so, what happened?  Please tell us step-by-step.
Don't leave anything out.

BL3 uses Xvesa, which is slightly different from 
a normal Xserver.

That could be a problem, because it changes some
things that Xvesa uses.  The best thing is to
start over.  Are you running from fs.img on a
DOS partition?  Or did you install to HD?  If
you are running from fs.img, simply delete fs.img
and unzip bl3-40.zip again.  If you are running
from a HD partition, I suggest you run mke2fs
on that partition again and run install-to-hd.

No problem.  Just tell us step-by-step what's
happening (and please don't start installing
extras until we sort things out).

Cheers,
