In that case I don't think your problem is with the X server at all. I think something is running as part of your normal session that is getting the X server wedged. Do you have an .xsession file? If so, what is in it? I'm not quite sure what to make of the rest of your report; I am leaving it quoted so that the people on the Debian X Strike Force (the debian-x mailing list) can see it and comment. > Running startx (standard xsession) I see on the screen: > > Using authority file /home/micha/.Xauthority > Writing authority file /home/micha/.Xauthority > > and then it hangs for about 30 seconds, no output to > /var/log/XFree86.0.log yet or .xsession-errors.
