after startup with -screen 0 1280x1024x16 X now comes up with the error
message "Acquire Keyboard Error = 80070005 (DIERR_OTHERAPPHASPRIO).
After clicking the message away sometimes the XServer can now lock (It
seems, that if after clicking the message away the focus returns to another
window, the XServer cant't lock again, and after some seconds, it is stable).
So I have to try often to get a running X, (but then it works great)
