I've installed Etch and xorg seems to be the new standard X in Etch. It's odd though, I have thought a user choosen during the installation process should have imediate access to the X environment especially if "Standard" and "Desktop" were chosed as well. But this suits me fine as I can totally control what is to be put in my /home directory :-) I just need some hints to move on from here. I've checked the Debian reference handbook, but there is no hints herein what to do in this case. Anyone ?? /niller 2006/12/20, John W. Foster <johnwfoster@verizon.net>:

Sounds like either the Xsession or the Xwrapper configs if your using X86...can't help with Xorg. still using sarge. -- John W. Foster
