Please trim the non-relevant portions of your posts. The system-wide dbus daemon is normally started at boot time after you go to the blfs bootscripts package and run make install-dbus. If you want to start in the same session without rebooting, run the script as the root user: # /etc/init.d/dbus start If you are just trying to get up a basic Xorg system running twm for initial testing, then I don't think dbus is needed at all for testing. My basic ~/.xinitrc looks like: $ cat .xinitrc # Begin .xinitrc file xterm -g 80x40+0+0 & xclock -g 100x100-0+0 & exec twm If you have a problem, there are two approaches I use. First, try Ctrl-Alt-F2 to see if you can get a console login. The second is to have the sshd daemon running and ssh into the system from another computer and look at what processes are running and the contents of Xorg.log.0, etc. Note that in the current default twm/Xorg server, the big X cursor does not get displayed until you click the mouse. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
