Problems with Xorg/Openbox - RasPi

[Ali3n0id]

Hi all I'm completely new to Arch but have been recommended it by several people who say it performs better than raspbian.

Basically I have installed Xorg and all the dependencies as well as openbox and SLim. However when I try to login through Slim I get 'Failed to execute logon command'

I can ssh to the device now but 'startx' produces:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[pi@alarmpi ~]$ sudo startx
[sudo] password for pi:

Another thing that is not working properly is 'xrdp', I have to manually start xrdp with 'sudo xrdp' for the service to start but when I login through Xvnc nothing displays I am guessing that it's because X isn't set up properly yet.

You don't have a mali graphics chip, remove packages that start xf86-video
Find them with pacman -Qs xf86-video
Install xf86-video-fbdev and xorg-xinit
Configure xinitrc first https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Startx

Okay thanks pepedog, just what I was looking for.

I 'sudo pacman -Rns xf86-video-fbturbo-git' and the other video packages I didn't need and uncommented openbox in ~/.xinitrc

Now I can run startx into openbox, now I'm guessing I need to install a desktop environment...

Also, incidently any reason why xrdp won't work when I try to remote desktop from a windows machine

It just sits at 'connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350'

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrdp
pacman -S xrdp

[Ali3n0id]

No I have installed it already and run 'sudo xrdp' to start the service. When I connect however it still doesn't load X.

[pepedog]

Doesn't mention sudo xrdp in the wiki
systemctl start xrdp
