    I was working with this yesterday, trying to figure out what’s wrong. I think the problem is that the Xorg directory is simply missing. Gone, with all its contents too.

    Here was vital output, when I entered the startx command as root:

    Using config directory “/etc/share/x11/xorg.conf.d”
    Using system config directory “/usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d”
    ) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch (EE) Server terminated with error(1).

    Xinit: giving up
    Xinit: Unable to connect to X server: connection refused
    Xinit: Server error
    ————————————–

    Here was some output when I entered the startx command as a regular user:

    Fatal server error:
    (EE) Cannot open log file “/home/spirit/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log”
    ———————————

    Changing directories & doing ls at the command prompt, I found that the /home/spirit/.local/share/Xorg/ directory simply doesnt’ exist – and I suspect based on the error message, that it should.
