i <SPAN class=280471412-21121998><FONT color=#003366

or '.xinitrc'. but the problem is i cannot find those files in '/root'. and i
only have 1 enabled user and that is root. i changed the 'xinitrc' file *suppose
to be the generic xinitrc* in '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit'. i commented the lines
after the line 'start some nice programs' and added 'startkde'. but it is still
loading fvwm2. i've added the original 'xinitrc' file localed in
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit'<SPAN class=280471412-21121998><FONT color=#003366
