Thanks. Now it's starting automatically (don't know what I did) but it
gives me this error:
Shared Memory is not accessible.
Please add the option 'UseShm ''true''' into the touch pad section of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

All the options a re greyout out and unusable. I'll do like the error
suggests and then I'll report back.
