I was determined to battle this through without having to ask for help ... yet here I am. I'm fairly new to this but I just can't get bspwm loading up with anything. Entering startx just gives me a blank screen. No error messages / cursor / responsiveness when attempting a superkey + Return for a urxvt console or any other keybinding. Just nothing. Setup: Arch Linux Xorg bspwm 0.9.7-10-g2ffd9c1 urxvt (9.22) Ryzen 3 2200g CPU with Radeon Vega graphics, I first installed the xf86-video-ati driver and when that did not work, used mesa. The issue persists. Here are my configs: ~/.xinitrc : ix.io/2dPX ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc : ix.io/2dQ4 ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc : ix.io/2dQ5 Xorg log (I notice no errors): ix.io/2dQb Both bspwmrc & sxhkdrc have file permissions as rwxr-xr-x I simply can't see where I'm going wrong. Can anyone see the mistake? Or anything I can provide to put some more light on this? Thank you for any help!
