My mentor has Xorg installed, so his system is not useful as a pattern to follow. I have an older version working. That system has some X libs installed. I have .ssh/config and all that stuff configured. At least on 7.4 alpine seems to require some further support. Hopefully someone can tell me what I am missing.
