This sounds to me like the fluxbox starter (I'm not sure if fluxbox by |
14 |
itself or some script that starts it with one or two other programs) |
15 |
crashes. Did you try running revdep-rebuild? |

And, if you want to experiment, you can start X from vt, lets say: |
18 |
|
19 |
X :1.0 (on :0.0, it is already running with xdm) |
20 |
|
21 |
then switch back to vt (probably different one) and start an xterm |
22 |
|
23 |
DISPLAY=:1.0 xterm |
24 |
|
25 |
then switch back to your new X (ctrl+f8 -- f7 is the xdm one) and try |
26 |
starting fluxbox from the xterm to see what happens. |
27 |
|
28 |
Did it help? |
