1.	How do I start the X server
	Please use the command 'grml-x' as user 'grml' for starting X. It generates the config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and lets you start commands on startup (see ~/.xinitrc). Use it, for example, via switching to TTY4 (press Alt+F4) and run the following command to start window manager fluxbox: grml-x fluxbox
2.	grml-x options
	grml-x supports several options. If you want to set some special options please take a look at the grml-x manpage (man grml-x)! Some usage examples:

grml-x -display 8 fluxbox          # start fluxbox on display 8
grml-x -force -nostart             # force creation of xconfig file and don't start X server
grml-x -hsync 60 fluxbox           # set horizontal frequency and start fluxbox
grml-x -hsync 60 -vsync 40 fluxbox # set horizontal and vertical sync frequencies and start fluxbox
grml-x -mode '800x600' fluxbox     # set resolution to 800x600 and start fluxbox
grml-x -module vesa fluxbox        # start fluxbox and use vesa module

Just run xrandr to switch the resolution. For example: 'xrandr -s 1024x768'.
