Hi
If I install xorg-server and xinit and an X window appears when I do
startxwin that I can use to launch to a terminal, should that be all I
need to install besides all of the xfce/lxde packages?
For instance, I do $startxwin and the X window pops up. I then type in
startlxde into the term and the autostart program appears in the same
terminal. I had lynx browser selected as an autostart program for lxde.
I don't know why lynx appears in the same window as the terminal.
I can't get to a desktop in either xfce and lxde.
I guess my question is just in general. I thought all I had to do is get
x window working and then the lxde and xfce programs would take care of
the rest. Maybe I am missing a requirement?
thanks
