I would love to be able to solve all of my own problems with regards x server on a virtual machine, but I cannot seem to find good resources that explain for instance:



  • what files are touched when X, Xorg, startx, xhost are run

  • what x depends on and whether I have all of them

  • at what point it falls over

  • why when completely removing all graphical groups and reinstalling them, that the same symptom could possibly reappear
