Switched from KDE Plasma to dwm on and it doesn't work normally [openSuse Tumbleweed]

budala33 · 07-21-2022, 06:05 AM

I switched from KDE Plasma to dwm and at first I thought it was completely broken since it gave me a black screen on starting up. I switched to tty2, logged in and ran startx, but yet again a black screen. But when I switched back to tty7 (default one), where it was still a black screen, and switched once again to tty2 - it magically works with no problems whatsoever. Does anybody know where I may have screwed the installation or where X could be failing? Thanks.

Which display manager are you using? Which GPU do you have?
