XFCE4 do'nt run on my pwb G4

[gentphil]

I try to run XFCE4 and I have 2 problems:

XFCE start, then crashs and give to me the following :


using vt 7
FBDEV(0) : FBIOPAN_DISPLAY : invalid argument

Then an xfwm message :
X Session Manager not avalaible

error : ##CCC9C5 cannot alloc color

Anybody have an idea ??

To me as a newbie that seems to be a problem in your config files, perhaps you haven't configured your monitor properly? Dunno what causes a framebuffer device failure though, could be a display driver related problem too.. Does the X-server with twm work properly?


In reply to the topic name I have to ask that do you actually consider your problems to be a good enough reason for others to keep away from XFce4? I use it and I am happy with it..

Of course I do'nt suggest to avoid XFCE4, I have choose it as desktop manager, so I think it's work well

I will try to change my configurations and come back

Note : the x server in 8 bits seems working properly

I ve try to run XFree86 -config

I've always the same problem

I've made modifs on the easy conf, and always the same problems

Could somebody couls post an exemple of Xconfigs for PWB G4 12" ?

Thanks
