Hello, I've been trying to get Adélie installed and build an openbox environment.
I have managed to have a bootable installation, trying to install openbox,xorg,xf86-video,
xinit, but I fail to get it started.
The first Xorg log error says no screen found, but can't figure out what it is missing
to start. I tried ati and intel. This is on a vm where I do all my trial installations
and modifications and once I am happy I transfer the image to disk.
I haven't tried consolekit2 as I have learned to live without it or elogind
(thankfully it doesn't exist here :), I have an .xinitrc in place ending at exec
openbox-session.
I haven't found a list archive yet to see if the question has already been answered.
By the specs and aim of the project I thank you and congratulate you in advance.

I apologise for the delay. Our x86_64 builder had a hardware failure
and I've been busy setting up a new one.
What virtualisation system are you using?
If it is KVM, Xen, or Qemu, then you probably want `xf86-video-fbdev`.
VirtualBox may also work with the fbdev module. I seem to think it may
need a custom module, but I don't recall the exact method to build it.
Can you send the full Xorg.0.log file along? We would be able to help
more with that information.

ConsoleKit 2 works pretty well, but you need to add the service to OpenRC:
# rc-update add consolekit default
And start it (or reboot, but that is IMO a waste):
# service consolekit start
Otherwise, applications trying to connect to ConsoleKit will sit for 20
seconds waiting for the connection before timing out, which is annoying.

Thank you very much for the kind words, they are much appreciated!
Best,
