X Won't Run

Hi.

Fresh install, eeeXubuntu 8.04 or 8.10. Downloaded via torrent, checked by md5sum.
Installer moved to USB (via... i do not remember). Installed.

Now, when i boot it up, it says something and turn off screen.

Disk led shines and nothing more (except battery bug).

I ran it to shell.

#xfdesktop
(xfdesktop:4191: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
#

It is installed to Kingston's 4GB SDHC.

Please help...

edit.

from shell i typed 'startx'
it started. something about Removable volumes (there is SDHC only), XFCE Volstatus.

and not responding for mice and keyboard. But seems to run (clock changes)

Re: X Won't Run

ok, done.

according to: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/x … 02541.html

i autoconfigured xorg and it is working now smile

Code:

Otherwise a simple wrapper like

if [ ! -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf ]; then
    Xorg -configure
    mv ${HOME}/Xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
fi
Xorg

Re: X Won't Run

nope, it still does not work.

startx seems to work fine but normal booting fails.

Try adding waitusb=5 to your boot parameters.
