To correct some minor bugs, I tried to run Porteus in X.
Started Porteus in text mode, Ok.
logged in as root, Ok
entered "xinit", but got no X screen...
entered "ctrl-alt-backspace" and got back to text mode with the error messages that some needed fonts were not present, so X aborted!
Please try to duplicate that test..
Where are the missing fonts? I guess they will be introduced later when you start the target desktop, in my case KDE.
In my opinion, this should be corrected, I don't know if that happens with other desktops. I leave that question to the devel team!
The devel team has made a wonderful work and with a little hacking we will make it almost perfect!
EDIT:
FALSE!...Only the background of the terminal is black.entered "xinit", but got no X screen...
Now you can click whithin the area of the terminal to activate it and give any X command...
Saludos cordiales!
