I have been facing the problem for months, where I can't run startx and startxfce4 after installing those packages As mentioned here I have to run Xorg -configure to start off. But when I run the same, the last 2 lines I get are: > Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file > > Abort trap (core dumped) Now if I ignore Xorg -configure, and simply run startx, it says > xauth: file /root/.serverauth.766 does not exist > > xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name ":0" in "add" command > > xauth: (argv):1: bad display name ":0" in "list" command > > xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name ":0" in "add" command And after a while: > xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "/unix:0" in "list" command The contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks like this: enter image description here If I press ^C, startx runs successfully, I see 3 terminals, as expected, but the mouse doesn't work at all. I can't move the mouse and click anything. The keyboard works on the activated terminal. If I do startxfce4, xfce4 starts, but again, mouse doesn't work. I have tried changing the Pointing Device in VirtualBox, but none from the available options worked. I also had a previous installation which worked fine until I deleted the VM. After that whenever I try to reinstall DragonflyBSD, I get errors like these. Is there a way to fix this whole issue?
