Thanks, I got X to start this way (as root). It did take a very long
time (almost half a minute) until the black screen came up. For some
reason though the keyboard and mouse don't respond and I have an X
for the mouse in the middle of the screen that won't move. It also
means that I can't switch back to console from the current machine.
I also tried running gedit from remote ssh to make sure that things
work, it ran, but most of the interface was black. glxgears did work
fine. Not sure if the resolution is correct though. I would have preferred to be able to do this as a user as the machine is supposed to run headless as a production machine dedicated for this application, I guess that I can start the whole application as a daemon though. BTW, I've been using linux for something like 14 years now, so it could have been a long time ago. It's definitely been long since I tried. It was at the days before gnome-session and such when you ran startx and had to setup the display manager and everything else yourself.
