Data Help needed to configure GUI with Slackware 7 on an IBM Thinkpad Laptop

I am using Slackware 7 on my IBM Thinkpad. I am unable to configure it to display a graphical environment. Typing startx usually generates a few errors. The system, however, does boot into the shell environment without any issues or problems. I have been able to setup Slackware 7 successfully on a Dell Optiplex desktop PC. Not sure why the laptop is posing difficulties? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Smilie

After starting startx, here is what I get:

config error: /etc/xf86config:208
protocol "(NULL)"
mouse type not supported by this OS
x connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).


Thanks for all replies!!!

NAME
fbpanel - a NETWM compliant lightweight GTK2-based panel for UNIX desktop. SYNOPSIS
fbpanel [OPTION] DESCRIPTION
fbpanel is desktop panel which provides graphical information and feedback about desktop activity and allows interaction with the window manager. It features: o taskbar - shows a list of the managed windows (tasks) o pager - thumbnailed view of the desktop. o launchbar - buttons to quickly launch applications o show desktop - button to iconify or shade all windows o image - display an image o clock - show the current time and/or date o system tray - tray for XEMBED icons (aka docklets) fbpanel requires NETWM (www.freedesktop.org) compliant window manager. You can run many instances of fbpanel each with its own configura- tion (see OPTIONS below). Most updated info about fbpanel can be found on its home page: http://fbpanel.sf.net/ OPTIONS
--help -- print help message and exit. --version -- print version and exit. --log <number> -- set log level 0-5. 0 - none 5 - chatty --configure -- open configuration dialog --profile <name> -- use specified profile. The profile is loaded from the file ~/.config/fbpanel/<name>. If that fails, fbpanel will load /usr/share/fbpanel/default. No -p option is equivalent to -p default -h -- same as --help -p -- same as --profile -v -- same as --version -C -- same as --configure CUSTOMIZATION
fbpanel will create a default profile file in case there noone exists already. Default profile file contains comments and explanation inside, so it should be easy. For a complete list of options and examples, please read '/usr/share/doc/fbpanel/README'. FILES
