Well right now I changed the /etc/X11/XF86Config a bit... Changes: - `Section "Files"` has been completely commented, here lies the following entry that indicated problem FontPath "unix/:7100" - `Load "dri"` in the Section "Module" has also been commented, got this suggestion from another friend. Right now my problem is solved, and X Windows is working fine, but its an unsafe approach, I will try the method u suggested.
