Subject: [DNG] X startup error
Hello,

I installed Beowulf amd64 netinst and then installed Xorg and openbox
with apt-get. Startx grinds for a while then exits with an error. Here
is the end of the Xorg.0.log file:

I don't know what drmSetMaster is. Where should I look for the problem?
Best regards,
