apt-get --no-install-recommends install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg xinit libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-video-intel - change to appropriate driver for you machine xserver-xorg-input-synaptics - perhaps does not need, if it is not laptop bgl1-mesa-dri - for 3D, optional See dmesg(1) for above first two points. Also, perhaps you need install xterm. I don't remember exactly, it is default terminal emulator for me. For errors, if X does not started, see ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
