Cannot start startx
  • When i start startx from the command line my screen turns black with a big cursor :-(
  • Could you give a little more information? What type of screen/monitor are you using.

    This sounds like the screen resolution doesn't match the monitor resolution.

  • Thanks Jim for your answer. I installed pimame on a 24 inch wide screen, at that point startx was working. Then i replaced the 24 for a 19 inch monitor and from that moment on it is not working on both monitors.
  • I assume you are using HDMI, could the cable have been faulty?
    What brand are the monitors and do you know the screen resolution? eg. 1920x1024
