Well, I would have hoped people have stopped using xinit/startx nowadays given that we no longer support it since decades. :-( Just use a proper displaymanager like gdm, sddm, lightdm, xdm like everyone is doing and you'll be happy. Even sound and access to nvidia devices for 3D rendering will just work ...
Then they stated that xinit is not supported and suggested that we use xdm instead. Guess what xdm depends on? xinit.
This is why I posted these things. It was not at all helpful to tell the user that 1) their log wasn't from where they said it was or 2) to tell the user that xinit is no longer supported and to use a DM that depends directly on xinit.
Given that the person telling you this is the person who maintains the software he is well within his right to tell you that on openSUSE we no longer support not using a display manager and as such wont spend time debugging issues that are caused by using the software in a way that we have chosen not to support. That of course doesn't mean that you are not free to debug and fix the issue yourself and then provide the solution in the distro. As a side note for whatever its worth on openSUSE systems lightdm is generally a better tested more feature full alternative then xdm that doesn't pull in any crazy dependencies and is the default for all the desktops other then gnome and kde. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
