      Hello,
      I’m trying to install a minimal AntiX distro on a Compaq C500 laptop.
      I have installed the core version, updated, upgraded, and then installed the following packages:
      xserver-xorg
      xserver-xorg-video-intel
      xserver-xorg-input-synaptic
      xserver-xorg-input-mouse
      xserver-xorg-input-kbd
      xinit
      policykit-1
      jwm

      Now, if I login as root and use startx, I get into jwm and everything works fine.
      However, if I login as a normal user, once I get into jwm the mouse and system freeze.
      I assumed it was an authority issue and tried to use the policykit-1 configuration that I use on my debian box but to no avail.
      I have a startup command in jwm to launch policykit agent at startup.
      Any advice on how to troubleshoot the problem?

        Install xserver-xorg-legacy and edit /etc/X11/Xrapper.config

        Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          Thanks Anticapitalista,
          worked like a charm.
