Silly question at first: Did you have configured your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ? Yes? Ok! I assume that X is not running. Then you can type at the console something like this: startx /path/to/your/blackbox_bin -- -depth 16 and blackbox should start up :-) After the -- you can use some server options like the colordepth above. If this works, you can make this permanent with an entry like: exec /usr/local/bin/blackbox in your ~/.xinitrc Important make the .xinitrc executable. Then you only need to type startx and voila blackbox starts :-) For docs try man startx or man xinit. I hope that helps.
