Hello Jenis,

Thank you for reaching out with your issue regarding the X server not starting on your Toradex Colibri iMX8DX module. Let’s go through some steps to help you troubleshoot and resolve this problem:

  1. Check Display Environment Variables:

    • Ensure the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, typically to :0 for the first display.

  2. Verify Xauthority File:

    • The error indicates that the /tmp/.Xauthority file is missing. This file is essential for X server authentication. Ensure the user running the X server can create and access this file.

  3. Check X11 Socket Permissions:

    • The log mentions that the owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be root. Verify and adjust the permissions and ownership with:
      sudo chown root:root /tmp/.X11-unix
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix

  4. Review Xorg Log Files:

    • Examine the log file at /home/torizon/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log for detailed error messages that might explain why no screens are found.

  5. Ensure Graphics Drivers are Installed:

    • Confirm that the necessary graphics drivers for your hardware are installed and configured correctly, as this is crucial for the X server to detect and use the display hardware.

  6. Test with a Simple X Application:

    • Try running a simple X application like xclock or xterm to determine if the issue is specific to your application or a broader X server problem.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue preventing the X server from starting. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out.
