[snip] There are no problems at all with your X configuration, IMO. I suspect that your problem has something to do with fonts or language settings in general. Try to set your language to C (export LC_ALL=C) then run startx again. See what happens. Also, look at /etc/X11/fs/config what fonts are available, maybe restart your font server (/etc/init.d/xfs restart). Make sure you have the right font package installed for your language. Claudio
