Did you ever get an answer to this? I have a similiar problem:
The following command gives me a blank screen and then XWin.exe etc goes way: # startx -- :0 -clipboard -nolock& I see this on the terminal: # xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 53: xclock: command not found/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc : line 52: twm: command not found xinit: connection to X server lost waiting for X server to shut down [1]+ Done startx -- :0 -clipboard -nolock I expected to get 3 xterms. (I know abouct the xclock and twm errors -- I have not and don't want to install these programs). Any help in debugging this would be appreciated. Thanks.
