xfce4 and xorg-7.5

[Mihai Militaru]

Yes, I tried hat too. My first setup was using /usr.../startxfce4 in .xinitrc.
Now I tried from the command line as well, it exists everytime. Sometimes
I can see the xfcehints (or 'fortunes'?) window and the mouse cursor
appearing for a moment, immediately before the server shuts down.

What does not behave consistently is: after a reboot, considering that xorg
is set to start automatically, it is restarted for several times in a row, then
at one moment it doesn't start by itself anymore, but puts me into the
command-line tty. I assume this is connected to the number of limited
retries set for respawning.
The rest is consistent, every time I start and X session, it logs-off by itself
immediately, with startxfce4 or not.

Can you try it without a login manager? Starting xfce from the command line with either startxfce4 or startx and an appropriate .xinitrc works about half the time here. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
