I installed Xorg withapt install xorg
X server start without any issue with root user
I also installed lightdm and it was working fine with lightdm tooCreated .xinitrc
echo "exec xterm" > .xinitrc
# startx (as root) works fine.$ startx (as USER)Ended with Errors
xf86EnableIOPrts: fialed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)
Error: Kernel is too old for Iris. Consider upgrading to kernel v4.16.Fatal server error: AddScree/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

::apt install xserver-xorg-legacy printf "needs_root_rights=yes\n" >> /etc/X11/Xwrapper.configJanuary 21, 2023 at 6:11 pm #97921MemberShail Murtaza
::Thanks!
Lol!
That worked. It was that simple?
But how?
I understand giving root rights, somewhat
But what about xserver-xorg-legacy?- This reply was modified 3 months, 2 weeks ago by Shail Murtaza.

::The assumption is you will be using a display manager.
No idea why using startx versus a display manager is considered legacy. Someone upstream of antiX made that decision.
and, I don’t use a display manager, either. Nothing wrong with display managers but I prefer to use tty1 for simple or quick tasks.

I see! So it has to do with developers of antiX
I’m still seeing this error whenever I kill Xorg and get back to tty

::So it has to do with developers of antiX
With “upstream” that wasn’t my meaning but after doing an ‘apt info’ your statement may be correct.
Error: Kernel is too old for Iris. Consider upgrading to kernel v4.16.
You will want to open a new thread in the future so others can find your post and solutions. I am guilty of doing it, too, from time to time.
Iris is a newish Intel GPU so a newer kernel should support it.
I would recommend using either ‘sudo cli-aptiX’ or the antiX’s Package Installer in xorg. You will see an option for antiX kernels. I would give 4.19 or even 5.10 a test.
Your laptop is beautiful! Love the older Thinkpads.

It is Debian’s policy.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.
antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
