Hello WZab,
My problem, or what I thought was a problem, as well. I have posted
about it here but I think this may be the new way that Debian wants
users to get to the login prompt?
The screen remains blank, but the machine is actually working, and
though you can see nothing it will take you to the login prompt. Just
watch the flickering light on the computer, when it stops I do this:
* type in the user name - then password, waiting a moment between
because I often type it too quickly before the login has registered
the user name and switched to password
* then type in startx
* You'll see your whole screen go from completely black without anything
to a shade of dark grey without anything, and then, in my case at
least, my ~/.xsession script cuts in, and xstarts
