Hello,

Is there some way to test your X session with minimum components, and slow=
ly adding whatever XFCE does?

I would switch from using a X Display Manager, and launch X from the login=
 vty using startx (if not already ), with a minimum =2Exinitrc=2E I would f=
ind out what is needed to get a minimal XFCE going, for example, maybe just=
 the Window Manager, no Compositor, or nothing at all to see if X handles t=
he display mode setting at all=2E

Also, where are your X logs? It is is normally at /var/log/X=2Esomething=
=2E It this log empty after the crash?


To anarchy and health=20
