Well, I've never have had to specify the vt with startx, so something is weird. Just to check: what is your version of elogind, and if using 246.9.1, have you applied the sed? sed -i '/running/,+1s:^://:' src/login/pam_elogind.c Also, the seat is tty1, but even without elogind, /dev/tty1 would be owned by you if logging in on it. Not sure exactly what is going on, though Pierre -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
