The user that runs the Xserver needs read and write permissions on /dev/kbd, /dev/mouse and /dev/fb0 (and /dev/fb[123] for multihead machines). I thought that the X-server wrapper (which runs the X-server as root) would have fixed that, but apparently not. Regards /Anders -- -- Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
