Installing firmware-amd-graphics seems to have solved it.

If you have a no KMS capable driver, you can install xserver-xorg-legacy.

You need to install the firmware-amd-graphics package.  Without it the
radeon kernel module does not work, which leads tho the following
problem:

Hence, the modesetting and radeon drivers don't work.

And the vesa driver does not work either because it needs root rights
which the X server does no longer have.  See
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-core/NEWS.Debian.gz.

X won't start after installing openbox

[Rodolfo Medina]

Any openbox users out there?

I installed x-window-system-core and openbox but startx gives error: `unable to
connect to X server: Connection refused'.  What am I missing?

Thanks for any help,

Rodolfo
