Curious about missing X when X starts...
This is a just curious kind of question.
I recently installed 13.37 on my main laptop (Toshiba ca. 2006, 915 graphics). It dual boots with Slackware 12.1 which is my personal work platform. When I start X under 13.37 I never see the familiar 'X' that usually appears before the WM (Fluxbox in this case) starts. The screen backlight is on, dark gray screen - then my conky area becomes active, pointer cursor appears and tmux sessions start followed by Fluxbox toolbar and window decorations - but no 'X', ever. Way back about '95 I had to get some problem laptop screens working with X and learned to look for the 'X' as a sign of a healthy system. Now I miss it... Does the 'X' actually mean anything? Is it meaningful when it does not appear? Normal? Inconsequential? Not concerned, just curious. |

Are you referring to the default shape of the cursor?
If you use a minimal .xinitrc like Code:
