---------------------

I had set up a computer with BL2, X (SVGA) and icewm.  Something got 
messed up to the point where startx, xinit, all the shared X libraries 
and the misc fonts.dir were missing.  It looks like anything involved in 
starting X/icewm got trashed/deleted.

I can now load XF86_SVGA but not icewm.  It is failing to load four 
pixmaps (which are there) for icewm with rc=-4 .

I would reinstall icewm but can't find another copy.  The BL2 add-ons site 
is not there.

What files are involved in loading pixmaps?

Would it help to copy all of /usr/X11R6 from a working setup?
Or which part is the likely culprit?

I am using a known-working XF86Config and a known-good video card (worked 
elsewhere with SVGA server).  This computer won't do Xvesa unless I bypass 
system files, with any card.  My partner is tired of booting with a lilo 
floppy disk.  We now have two such computers both with the same problem of 
not booting X (SVGA server) because he did not tell me there was a problem 
before I cloned one.  Changing video cards did not fix Xvesa nor did 
changing computers.

BL3 X SVGA works fine with icewm.
