It's using the framebuffer with 1360x768, just for completeness but that is not
the issue.
I debugged my way through the start and found a lot of glitches.
There was a missing Intel video Xorg driver,
then Mesalib modules missing,
then LightDM segfaulting because there was no X (created a symlink to Xorg)
and now it starts simply an xterm. I do not see the mouse so I cannot click in
it, that would be next.
So, overall, something must have gone wrong in the install, terribly.
But it looked all good and I did not see any obvious errors..
I cannot believe the path to a working play console should be that rocky.
I wonder whether it is worth continuing or better to install Ubuntu, the Steam
client and then going from there.
Any opinions or alternative ideas?

Peter
