Re: startx not working, but X does
I am still at a loss... I tried downgrading alomost every package with the
letter "x" in it back to when it was working.
However, you might find the following helpful:
$ X&
$ DISPLAY=:0 gnome-session
... worked for me to get gnome running. Replace 'gnome-session' with 'kde2'
and it will start kde.
I think it must have to do with some of the base x packages (xbase-clients,
xserver-xfree86, xfree86-common), or maybe the video card support:
xserver-<cardtype> (I use xserver-r128, tell me if you use the same).
I will let you know immediately if I get anything working.
Regards,
Jeff Davis
