I too use fluxbox, as startx looks in the $HOME/.xinitrc file ull need a line
something like the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark $ more .xinitrc
/usr/bin/fluxbox
Next, take a look at your home directory permissions, make sure you are the
owner and the perms are similar to the following [ chmod 755 ]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] home $ ls -la | grep mark
drwxr-xr-x 22 mark mark 4096 Jun 19 21:08 mark
