Installed F32 on a legacy system set up to run xfce4. Letting the system do the graphical boot works as expected. Booting to mode 3 command line login then trying to start the graphical display with startx fails to start the xserver. Going to a separate session with ctrl alt f4 gives a command line login but again a graphical display doesn't start with startx on an alternate display. Can start with xinit and xfwm4 as a window manager.
From the graphical system,

What am I missing to start the graphical session from a command line login?

How does "startx" fail?
