最小化x11 debian

How to setup a minimal X11 environment on Debian GNU/Linux

1. Install the following packages

   • xserver-xorg-core (server)
   • xserver-xorg-video-XXX (video driver, XXX depends on your hardware)
   • xserver-xorg-input-XXX (input device driver, XXX depends on your hardware. evdev works well for most cases)
   • x11-xserver-utils (xmodmap, xrandr)
   • x11-xkb-utils (setxkbmap)
   • x11-utils (xdpyinfo, xev, xkill, xprop, xwininfo)
   • xinit (startx)
   • your favorite terminal emulator
   • your favorite window manager

2. Create a minimal ~/.xinitrc

   #!/bin/sh
   your-favorite-termianl-emulator &
   exec your-favorite-window-manager
   

3. Run startx from the console

4. Add anything you need (fonts, panels, input methods, etc.)
