Branden,
I've been running woody, and X 4.0.whatever. :-)
We had a power event here last night that was a result of another event
last weekend. So, my desktop machine was shut down last weekend and last
night (Thursday the 7th).
I had no problems when I powered it up after last weekend. It was smooth
sailing all the way.
This morning, however, I ran into a problem where I could not run X as
anything but root. I tried a reinstall of most of the X pieces-parts
using apt-get install --reinstall
That didn't fix it.
I went looking through the docs and found reference to "Xwrapper." But
it seems that Debian has no Xwrapper. :-)
So, the suggested fix of changing the call of X to Xwrapper in xserverrc
didn't bring me joy.
What I wound up doing is changing /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
I changed the line that said allowed_users=rootonly to be
allowed_user=console
That seems to have done the trick and I am working away in X now.
Hurray!
I can't pinpoint anything, but it would seem that something broke
between 12-1 and 12-7.
Hope this helps you or someone. :-)
Regards,
Stu
