did that, it told me "MALLOC: using debug hooks", but nothing new. The
error screen was too short to read, but starting it repeatedly I could
only see the same as reported above. No entry in syslog. It does not
create /var/log/X{org,Free86}.log. This would be nice to have in such
cases, wouldn't it?
Permissions in /dev/fb look unsuspicious to me:
ls -l /dev/fb*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Dec 1 15:17 /dev/fb0 -> fb/0
/dev/fb:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 0 Dec 1 15:17 /dev/fb/0
ls -ld /dev/fb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Dec 1 15:17 /dev/fb
