The only X related configuration files that I am aware of are: .xinitrc with the contents "exec emacs". .xsession with the contents "exwm". .Xauthority is an empty file. .Xdefaults has the contents: ``` XTerm*utf8: always XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true ``` .exwm that contains my EXWM configuration. If there are other relevant configuration files I can share there contents as well. > Is your graphics card supported with Guix and the X server? CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx GPU: AMD ATI 05:00.0 Picasso The graphics card works with the X server. When I had Void installed on the computer I was able to start X using `startx` with no problems. Void uses a vanilla Linux kernel that has not been deblobbed like Linux-libre. I do not know if the graphics card is supported by Guix?
