Hello,
I installed Beowulf amd64 netinst and then installed Xorg and openbox
with apt-get. Startx grinds for a while then exits with an error.
Here is the end of the Xorg.0.log file:
I'm assuming you installed a basic terminal only system first,
then installed xorg and openbox which is exactly how I installed
my Beowulf set up. I experienced no problems.
What packages EXACTLY did you install for the X environment?
Were you root when you did the installs?

I don't know what drmSetMaster is. Where should I look for the

Hi,
I did the installation earlier in the week and don't have a list or
remember exactly what was installed. The basic installation resulted in
a command line terminal with a user login. As su I used apt-get to
install xorg and then openbox. As far as I know apt-get will only allow
root to install anything. I checked to see if xorg installed several
programs I knew would be needed such as: xsetroot, xrdb, xset, xclock.
I believe I had to install xdm also. I copied .xinitrc, .xsession and
a few openbox menu/config files from the computer I am now on. Those
were edited to comment out some programs that are not installed yet.
Best regards,
Fred
