I think I had that kind of problem last year. The error message did not really help, so I finally decided to start X with only one X terminal open, and then ran "start-lumina-desktop" from that "controlling shell". It didn't work (as in your case), and I did then use "truss start-lumina-desktop", found out what was wrong, but I cannot remember what it was, sorry. Lumina worked for some time, even though it was partially incomplete. After a "pkg upgrade" of the system, it didn't work anymore, and I was not able to return it to a working state, so I dumped it and installed fvwm2 which worked (and still does after several software upgrades). :-) Side note: Have you tried creating a ~/.xinitrc and putting the command "exec start-lumina-desktop" into that file, then use "startx" from text mode? That is a common way to start X sessions (when you're _not_ using a display manager like xdm). > Note the error message "failed to set mtrr: Invalid argument". That might have been the error message that I saw as well. > How do I make Lumina work? Good question. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
