Summary: Connection to X Server Failed
Initial Comment:
After installing blackbox-0.65.0 and running the
command 'blackbox' I get the following message:
BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to X Server failed
After that message I attempted to run blackbox from
inside X, in the xterm console I typed in 'blackbox'
and got the following message:
BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying tyhe
X Server. another window manager is already running on
display :0.0. Blackbox::Blackbox: no managable screens
found/aborting.
Also, for some reason I can't find what I believe to be
the main blackbox directory. I found the
'/usr/share/blackbox' directory, but it doesn't have
all the subdirectories listed in the blackbox man file,
so pointing out where the main directory is would be
helpful (I am assuming the main directory was
installed, since there were no errors during installation).

On Fedora Core 1, this is accomplished with two files:
~/.Xclients and ~/.Xclients-default
the contents of which are:
~/.Xclients:
#!/bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
# configure some start up programs to run in X as defaults.
# I added these three myself by hand
bbmail &
bbkeys -t -geom -0+0 &
bbkeys -t -geom 0,0 -display :1.1 &
if [ -e "$HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY" ]; then
exec $HOME/.Xclients-$HOSTNAME$DISPLAY
else
exec $HOME/.Xclients-default
fi
and ~/.Xclients-default:
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
# note that I commented out the former normal windowmanager
# instead of deleting or changing it
#exec gnome-session
exec /usr/bin/blackbox
then, when you want to launch X and blackbox from the
console, you use
$> startx
(this presupposes you are at runlevel 3)
.xinitrc is another way to handle this similarly although I
don't precisely know the workings and usage of doing it that
way, since what I have works fine.

the way i got this fixed is to edit the xinitrc file and
remove all starting programs (down at the bottom of the
file) and insert [path]/blackbox

The first error appeared because you tried to run Blackbox
without X being started. The second happened because you
tried to run Blackbox with X started, but there was already
another window manager running; there can only be one
manager at any given time.
So I suspect you're already using something else for your X
desktop. Perhaps Gnome or KDE. With Blackbox 0.65 you'll
have to give those up if you choose to use it, so be warned
(or use 0.70 from CVS, although it's not guaranteed to work
perfectly).
So you'll have to provide more info about what you're using
now and what do you do to get it started (do you do
anything? describe what happens when you start the computer
until you see the desktop).
I could offer some pointers but they may do more harm than
good if I don't know what this is about.
As for the Blackbox dir, the Blackbox files get spread
around under /usr. So look there and you'll see a bin/, a
share/ and so on. And under those you will find what you
want, for instance /usr/bin/blackbox.
