Configuration
xinitrc
A sample xinitrc
xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid gray & xbiff -geometry -430+5 & oclock -geometry 75x75-0-0 & xload -geometry -80-0 & exec /bin/i3
Troubleshooting
Only console users are allowed to run the X server
You must run the x server from the text console (generally tty1).
It does not matter what user you are, and there is no
consolegroup that you can add yourself to.
