I tried the startx trick. I recall that this would launch my WM
(fluxbox), but now all I get is an X session with twm! Has something
changed with /etc/rc.conf? Where should I specify fluxbox?
That twm session is the default (see end of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc)
if you don't specify what you really want. The xdm display manager
checks in ~/.xsession for the stuff you want to run (i.e. fluxbox),
but startx uses the file ~/.xinitrc for the same purpose. You could
probably just copy .xsession to .xinitrc for starters.
No /var/log/xdm.log or other errors were there this time. Trying to
start xdm and I keep getting the same old errors:
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server (:0.0)
and
(EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard.
I am running out of things to try now. I don't have a recent enough
back up otherwise I would roll back this bad experience.
I have these lines in my xorg.conf but I can't remember when or why I
put them there. I believe it had something to do with evdev, though.
