I just installed the gnome and x stuff that comes with slackware 9.1, in hopes of playing with gnopernicus. When I do either telinit 4, or gdm, speakup starts to talk, and then is cut off. After the hd spins a bit, I get a beep from my pc speaker. Since I have a bell character in my /etc/issue, I am assuming that's where the beep in question comes from. I then go ahead and login, by typing my username and password as usual. After that, I hear a very small amount of hd activity, just like I do when logging in on a text console. I then try to do ctrl+alt+f1 to get a text console to start gnopernicus, but I don't get a text console. Can someone please enlighten me on how to bring up a text console? Thanks in advance.
