You try to do 'make xconfig' as root (uid=0). You have to allow this user to use the X11 Display. Just read the man page for xhost. Or try 'xhost +localhost' Yours, -- martin // Martin Konold, Muenzgasse 7, 72070 Tuebingen, Germany // // Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // Linux - because reboots are for hardware upgrades -- Edwin Huffstutler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Just go ahead and write your own multitasking multiuser os !
