I reiinstalled (avoiding past missteps), to a console, and from it installed xorg and fluxbox. I then ran xstart from console and all went well.
With one exception. I'm in what looks like VGA mode with large crude characters. It seems a problem (or symptom) is that installation did not create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory that should holding, I presume, a 20-nvidia.conf file. I created them by hand, but startx failed with error in log to effect that there is no server section. I suspect this is not the file that should have a Server section. I purged and reinstalled xorg without luck. Installed were libglu1-mesa, x11-apps, x11-session-utils, x11-server-utils, xinit, xorg, xorg-docs-core. The xorg log tells me that it is using as system configuration directory, /usr/share/X11/xorg.c. Because this file does not exist, the log complains about missing layout, screen and monitor definitions. It seems xorg is using defaults. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
