At boot everything is visible until rc.local is executed. Here after my screen is black for 17 seconds until my browser chromium is visible.
I think it has something to do with xinit so where and when is it started?

Code: Select all

  794 tty1     00:00:00 xinit
  795 tty2     00:00:00 Xorg
  804 tty1     00:00:00 .xinitrc
  820 tty1     00:00:00 matchbox-window

Something else.
I killed matchbox-window and thought the display would go black. But it didn't how comes?

That doesn't look like Raspbian, so what are you running ?

I didn't ask what kernel you are running.

matchbox is not the standard Raspbian window manager.

No it is not the standard display manager it is actual an old manager. But anyway my kiosk setup seems not to use it anyway so I have removed it from /boot/xinitrc and my system is still booting. How can I know which display manager I am using?
