I've just installed woody with xfree 4.1 and gnome 1.4, all from scratch. I've had some problems to launch X because issuing "startx" linux has been complaining that X was not executable. I've relinked X (which pointed to a non existent xserver_svga) to XFree86 and it all worked properly AS ROOT.
Unfortunately, under a newly-defined user (dada) X invariably fails to start. Now I've tried with the classical .xinitrc & .xsession with the only line "gnome-session" to no avail. What's wrong with it and what should I do or check? Vittorio
