My laptop is using a AMD Radeon gpu.



Also this problem only happens when I run xinit .xinitrc as a non root user



the groups my non root user are in are these:
wheel,tty,audio,video,sudo

  • xinit is not the problem, xorg is. Even when I just run xorg the same issue happens

    Read the link: you can't run xinit without an xserverrc: run startx and if that fails, you'll need to fix the permissions after running X as root.

Also this problem only happens when I run xinit .xinitrc as a non root user



the groups my non root user are in are these:
wheel,tty,audio,video,sudo

  • xinit is not the problem, xorg is. Even when I just run xorg the same issue happens

    Read the link: you can't run xinit without an xserverrc: run startx and if that fails, you'll need to fix the permissions after running X as root.

My laptop is using a AMD Radeon gpu.



Also this problem only happens when I run xinit .xinitrc as a non root user



the groups my non root user are in are these:
wheel,tty,audio,video,sudo
