This is normal behavior. Don't know why, but nVidia drivers doesn't |
| 14 |
use the dri2 module, I think it has it's own implementation or |
| 15 |
something, you can safely ignore that, even if your 20-nvidia.conf |
| 16 |
disables (or tries to) dri2. |
| 17 |
The xclock error is also ok, you probably have twm emerged, but not |
| 18 |
xclock. The default xinitrc (in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc) tries to run |
| 19 |
twm, 3 xterms and xclock. |

You should not edit this file, you should create a ~/.xinitrc and add |
| 55 |
startkde to that. Try again without messing with the default system |
| 56 |
xinitrc and using your own. You need to let the system xinitrc run, it |
| 57 |
will call yours afterwards. |
