Hello,

Is there some way to test your X session with minimum components, and slowly adding whatever XFCE does?

I would switch from using a X Display Manager, and launch X from the login vty using startx (if not already ), with a minimum .xinitrc. I would find out what is needed to get a minimal XFCE going, for example, maybe just the Window Manager, no Compositor, or nothing at all to see if X handles the display mode setting at all.

Also, where are your X logs? It is is normally at /var/log/X.something. It this log empty after the crash?


To anarchy and health
