Are you using startx? This should fire up the window manager and all the
stuff. You can even do without the .xserverrc by doing, for example:
startx wmaker -- :1 -bpp 16
I am using wmaker as argument to get the windowmanager I want. I do not use
-bpp 16 actually because I have it as DefaultColorDepth in
/etc/X11/XF86Config. Okay - I do not really use this at all :-)
But I tried it and it worked. Perhaps it works for you, too...
