X.org is 7.3_1. I copied my ~/frank from one computer to another via NFS. May it be there went something wrong? (See below) Check .xinitrc if it is in /root. If it is there and it works copy it over to the /home/user, care for permissions or make it 777. I have only one in ~/frank. Watch for /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit -- it will use this when you have no .xinitrc in the /home/user or permission is set wrong! The file /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is set to r--r--r--. It seems to me this is somehow wrong. Should I change it, and to which value? Such troubles I solve best when I look over it the next day. Usually I find it in two minutes then and wonder how I can have not seen such an obvious mistake..

The interesting effect is that the output on the regular user's terminal is the same as above written. So it seems it has nothing to do with the WM I want to start.
