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!
