Further information please. Exaxcly how are you tryig to start X? Any error messages. Which DM dispay manager; xdam, gdm, kdm or ?) are you using and which desktop? FYI I've run xdm for ages, well since debian-spud and the whole gdm/kdm debacles and over that time I've run tvm, light, ice and now xfce4 for jessie-ascii & beowuff and it just worked on all the systems with heads. So, we'll need a bit more information pls. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
