[solved] (kind of) fresh install startx is missing libs

after a fresh install "base base-devel vim xorg-server xorg-server-common xorg-server-utils git"

~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/bash
exec bspwm

system complains about missing libs:
libpciaccess
libdrm
libxshmfence

iam missing some packages (after installling them by hand it works)

edit: these libs shuld pulled in by xserver-common IMHO

~/.xinitrc isn't going to do much without startx, part of the xorg-xinit package.

What drivers are you using?

Did you install a video driver?  Check The xorg page on the wiki for more information.

Edit: Scimmia types faster than me

Re: [solved] (kind of) fresh install startx is missing libs

...and you still didn't mention what driver you're using.

Edit: Sorry, you did. Can you give us EXACT error messages?
