I am having trouble setting up X similar to a previous posting. I have
a new 8.0 installation.
Using the Handbook chapter suggested below I waas able to generate and
edit an xorg.conf file. It tests ok. I generated a .xinitrc file based
on an example in the Handbook. When a user runs startx the screen
completely blanks out. It is possible to return to the command line
prompt with ctrl-alt-F1 and then ^c. No errors are listed. Where would
I look for the problem?
[please don't top-post, it makes responding more difficult]
Could you show your .xinitrc? Also, the xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log are
often useful. Links to those files may be easier to post than the files
themselves.
When you say the screen is completely blank--is there a mouse pointer?
