Are you issuing these commands from the console? Or is xenodm running? Can you please explain what exactly you did during the installation, and what you are trying to achieve, (including whether you want to boot into X11 using xenodm, or start it manually from the text console). If you did a regular installation with all the _base_ packages, (I.E. the ones the installer offers to install), then you should have can either start X11 automatically using xenodm, or otherwise just log in on VT 0 and run 'startx'. > ```this is my hardware ``` Based on the dmesg, this hardware should run X11 just fine.
