Please notice that it's not really an official rc1 of 1.1, JFTR. ;)
Busy working on that...

Please upgrade grml-x from grml-testing (make sure you have the
grml-testing repository enabled in sources.list) and regenerate
xorg.conf then (there were some fscking changes in current X.org
which sadly required changes in grml-x as well):

# au ; agi grml-x ; grml-x -force -nostart fluxbox
% grml-x flubox

Does it work then? If not can you please share the generated
xorg.conf which is known to be "broken" and a working one (like the
one from sidux)?

regards,
