Hello everyone,

could someone please explain to me how the `xorg-start-procedure' is
supposed to be used?

I understand it generates a startx script to be used instead of the
default startx that comes with xinit. But the generated script does not
work for me and the logs weren't very helpful.

I know there is an email in this mailing list explaining how to use the
x server without a login manager. Up until now I've been using the
custom startx script given in that email, but I would like to include my
xorg config into my system config.

Currently the relevant part of my config looks like this:

(services (cons* (extra-special-file
                   "/usr/bin/startx"
                   (xorg-start-command
                     (xorg-configuration
                       (fonts (cons* font-gnu-unifont
                                     font-terminus
                                     font-misc-cyrillic
                                     %default-xorg-fonts))
                       (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
          [ ... ]))
