Bspwm failing to load after fresh installation

I installed bspwm on a virtual machine using KVM to test it.
After I login in I get an error message and then a black screen.

Below are some lines from the error message. Any idea what is missing?
It appears as if I am missing some packages or they are not configured properly.

(==) Using system config directory “usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d”

xf86Enablel0: failed to enable I/0 ports 0800-03ff (Operation not permitted, pci id for fd 13: 1239:1111. driver (null)

MESA-LOADER: failed to open bochs-drm: /usr/lib/dri/bochs-drm_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such or directory (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dril) pci id for fd 1231:1111, driver (null)

Re: Bspwm failing to load after fresh installation

Please post the full xorg log, not an excerpt.  Does this actually have anything to do with bspwm?  Can you start X with just an xterm?

Re: Bspwm failing to load after fresh installation

Sorry for the late reply was busy with work. I re-installed the system and it is now working!! I am not sure what went wrong in the first installation but I did not really change anything in my install script.
Thank you for your help.
