Xorg won't start

Postby njb » Fri Apr 29, 2016 7:06 pm

Hello

I'm fan of Arch Linux
I have installed it in all my PC's

Now it's time to install it in the Raspberry Pi3
So I downloaded the ArchLinuxARM-rpi-2-latest.tar.gz
from Archlinuxarm.org

The installation in the Pi3 was succefull but
as I wanted to install a WM Openbox
I had to download and install all the utilities for the Xorg server

pacman -Syu xorg-server xorg-server-utils
pacman -Syu xorg-xinit xorg-utils

and the video driver too
pacman -S xf86-video-vesa

and the openbox windows manager
pacman -S openbox openbox-themes
exec openbox-session

and startx

But the x server won't start
server terminated with error
log file

Hello guy's
I have solved my issue
Thankyou for everybody that helped
A special mention to Ryan Christie

Do not use VESA, but xf86-video-fbdev
Copy the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc .
Open it with text editor and put the exec openbox-session there.
Then type startx .

:D
