Installed to hdd and it it booted fine.
Installed xorg lightdm etc and then, up on reboot, that is when I got the flashing cursor.
I will try to get the slim changes made.

Came right back to the Welcome to Antix17.a1 login.

Slim does the same thing. I see the same thing as in the picture above.

I am using a Dell Optiplex 755.

You do not have the correct xorg drivers / configuration for your graphics card. I would download the smxi/sgfxi/inxi package and run sgfxi to see what it does. Else post the output of inxi....

apt-get install xorg should have brought them in.

apt-get install --reinstall xorg

Maybe the stretch repos are playing up

No change.
INXI still reads the same graphics driver.

Apt-get -f install xserver-xorg-video-intel?
IIRC that is the command to install the Intel driver

Run - Apt-get -f install xserver-xorg-video-intel?
rebooted
And no change.
Inxi still shows the same driver.

looks like in stretch, if your intel graphics are"4th gen" or better, X defaults to"modesetting".

I haven't tried my mate setup outside of VB yet, but I just made a successful snapshot so I'll be able to check against the intel machine tomorrow morning.
