Re: Problems after startx: blank screen and no mouse
That definitely fixed my screen (for now) ;)
There's still the issue with have no mouse, but i probably guess i have to configure it in xorg.conf aswell?
I found a nice howto on configuring X so i guess i have to do some more reading.
To bad i don't have so much time the coming days so i'll fix that one later.
In time i want to have a dual screen setup..
Thanks for your help and getting me on the right track!

Re: Problems after startx: blank screen and no mouse
I finally figured it out. I had to add some extra lines to the xorg.conf. For people reading this topic and who have similar problems (and zero experience with X), here are some links:
That should definitely get you started ;)
Here is my final xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "logitech"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Device"

Re: Problems after startx: blank screen and no mouse
I had the same problem with mouse and screen. I installed my ATI driver, that worked fine till i rebooted. I solved it by putting the next in my /root/bash_profile
fix-vesa
aticonfig --initial
startx
i hope this helps

I think the thing that fixed your mouse issue is the aticonfig. I would just warn you that if you ever change your xorg.conf the fix-vesa command in startup will change it back :)
