I just installed Awesome. The basic user config works perfectly.
Now, I'm trying to use another user config, such as:
http://git.sysphere.org/awesome-configs … 4.3.tar.gz
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Every time I call startx, the screen goes blank. Only the cursor is visible.
The other user config files also give the same result.
Could this be caused by lack of desktop environment (I don't install it), or programs used on the config (firefox, nitrogen ,etc) ?

The config uses vicious library which is not included in the tarball.
You can read http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Vicious for more info about vicious.
Awesome is awesome.

OK. I just followed the procedure on that page.
And the result is still... nothing.

As stated many times before, you cannot just copy that config and expect it to work. You need to take parts of it, fix the values and make it work for your system.
Start reading here: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/My_first_awesome
Then: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Main_Page
Then: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Vicious
Then: http://git.sysphere.org/vicious/tree/README
Then if you still have questions go to the IRC channel #awesome on http://www.oftc.net/
anrxc (the author of vicious and the configs you are trying to use) and many others are there and can help you.

Take into account that the "adaption to your system" is largely an adaptation to awesome current release, since few aspects are actually system-dependent.

It's actually the opposite, the config file references file systems, mail boxes, network devices etc. It is kept up to date with awesome current.
