> Rem I had that problem too, looked extensively for possible answers, and one that worked was Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" Now I can't remember if it was "AllowEmptyInput (no spaces) or "Allow Empty Input" but would think the former; am in Linux as I type this and didn't need that line in that xorg.conf . Synonyms for "false" are "0" "off" "no" Antonyms are "true" "1" "on" "yes" I got Xfce 4.6.1, built from the FreeBSD meta port, to work. I think initially startx is set to start twm, a spartan window manager that is included with xorg.
