Thanks Nathan, You pointed me in the right direction. After changing my windowmanager to xterm, i noticed that mouse and keyboard aren't detected because hal was not running. Because of this i couldn't do anything on the screen :).

Yes, Without this i just get some pixels moving on the screen and the console does not recover after terminating the process. From what i read on the list, it may be because DRI is broken. I will have to try to disable it.

Nathan is right; you should start a few > different programs in ~/.xinitrc that create windows, e.g: The relax_mmap check is default in 10.x. My monitor gets probed correctly.
