I had that problem on 9.2 but not 9.3.  As best I can recall, you set up using 
sax then restart the xwindow system i.e., logout and back in for it to work. 
Actually you should be doing sax in level 3 and will need to go to level 5 to 
see it work.   Or simply play like you're doing windows and reboot.

HTH,
