| Create a .xinitrc file in your $HOME directory with the line "exec fluxbox" in it. |

To clarify, do this:
| Code: | $ echo 'exec fluxbox' > ~/.xinitrc
$ startx |
In the future, you then use 'startx' to get to Fluxbox.

What are your /tmp permissions and disk usage?

thats inaccurate information.. it does work as a non-root user..
personally i like using gdm  that way i can run root x apps while still in user mode..

That is the problem... it isn't working in this case.
