Description tescas 2015-06-14 20:19:52 UTC

Hello,

When 
> startx 

out-of-the-box from fresh installed 
> emerge --ask x11-base/xorg-server

an fresh cold waterfall comes down with:
> /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 104: xterm: command not found

That is solved with
> emerge --ask x11-term/xterm
> emerge --ask x11-term/xclock
> emerge --ask x11-term/xeyes

ie

> startx
> xeyes &


-> xterm: command not found -> emerge xter,

Reproducible: Always

Sorry

'
If no window manager has been installed a solid black screen will appear. Since this can also be a sign that something is wrong, the x11-wm/twm and x11-terms/xterm packages can be installed only to test X.

-> fixed !
