starting X server?
 

edit: same problem wrong reason. Read my next post on this thread.

What kind of problem do you have with fluxbox? Any error message?

If you want to make another wm your default wm (started with starx), go to /etc/X11/xinit. In your case there shold be softlink named xinitrc to xinitrc.fluxbox. Just remove this softlink and create another softlink to xinitrc.<some_wm>.

brm

make sure that fluxbox will work first.

startx /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox

if that starts it, revert to reply #1

Upon further investigation, I found out that fluxbox has nothign to with it. X can't be displayed, but it is still running as a process under ps -A . I think that X is starting at an incompatible monitor resolution, how would I change the resolution in which x starts?

xf86config and reselect another resoultion or manually edit /etc/X11/XF86Config

It might not even be my resolution, the screen just blanks. There was a similar post so I'll check that one too.
