It sounds like the resolution is set too high for the monitor. Try
reducing the screen size to 1024x768 or 800x600.

I don't know what to make of your problem with the screen
flashing on and off. Is this a laptop? It sounds like maybe
a power management thing.
As for startx not working, we'll need to see the /var/log/XFree86.0.log
file. Everything needed to diagnose a failure to start X should
be in there.

After my computer boots, the screen and the keyboard flash off every
few seconds, and then they flash back on. They are on while the
computer is booting, but after that, I can't get them to stay on. Also,
the startx (or xstart, whichever one it is) does not work, and I don't
know why. This all started when the system gave me some error with
graphical interface, and I ignored it. So now my computer with linux
can't be used at all. How do I fix this?
