similar to: GUI black screen on login, startx works???

Hello, I'm using a recent install of centos 7, no GUI customizations that I recall. When I log in using the GUI it accepts my password and the mouse appears on a black screen, like it is preparing the desktop, but the desktop never appears. If I hit control-alt-f4 and log in using the command line, and then execute startx, Everything seems to work perfectly. What sort of troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I have been having a vexing problem for a year, and I cannot solve it. Hopefully, someone has a tip to get me over the hump to fix this once and for all. When I type "startx" from root, I get: (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. (WW) fglrx(0): *********************************************** (WW) fglrx(0): * DRI initialization failed!

I installed Centos 6.2/i386 on a machine last night with a 1920x1080 monitor. The installer ran in graphical mode and looked fine. After the install was finished I rebooted and ran through the "firstboot" stuff (set up user, etc) with no problem and, again, it looked good. After that, when I should have seen the gdm login screen, all I got was the blue background but not the box with

I seem to recall that there is some special option to run X11 on <Alt-F2> On this ClearOS system, their console sits on the default console. You have to <Alt-F2> (etc.) to get a text login. Now that I have Xfce kind of installed, I want to see it on the system console, and I thought that just running startx would work. It doesn't. Got some errors. And then I remembered years

I was using nouveau 20090106git133c1a5 from Fedora 10 repository and i can not startx.

Everything was working fine, then after an update, it no longer works. I am using Fedora 7. I am unsure of the Wine version. Any of the Wine apps cause the screen to blank when I start them. I can press alt+f4 to close and get my Fedora desktop back. How do I get my Wine apps to work again? --Tony

I set up a Centos 5 machine a couple of weeks ago and everything was working perfectly. It survived a few reboots and whatnot with no problem. I moved it to another location on Saturday afternoon and, again, it booted up and worked fine. It was rebooted this morning and now the graphical login screen doesn't appear. Everything appears to load normally but once the text login screen

The scenario you describe should most definitely work -- switching between different instances of X running on different vt's. Your GPU has 4 CRTC's (Kepler, then Maxwell, then Pascal -- that's your generation), which means you can have up to 4 heads at the same time. Here's a config that I use to get both of my monitors to come up the way I want them to, using the nouveau ddx,

I have seen similar issues when user shell profiles like .bash_profile or .bashrc has some errors. Are users invoking other shells from their default shell ? this usually breaks X11 start-up scripts.
