Molnar, Ph.D." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> First of all, sorry about cross posting, but the Mandrake list doesn't seem to be receiving my mail this weekend and I would really like to solve these problems. I'm running Mandrake/Helios/kde-1.1.2 on a K6-2/300, dual booting with Win95. When I log, in runlevel 5, startx gives me the following messages (with the process hanging on the gray screen): AUDIT: <date time string with incrementing seconds>: 07 2000: 570x: client 1 rejected from local host xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server lib: client is not authorized to connect to server The same thing happens whether I'm root or a user and in both runlevel 5 and 3. As far as I know all that I did was recycle Linux as I needed Win95. The previous shutdown process was without any errors or warnings as far as I can recall. A second problem has resurfaced. Without going into great detail I now have a new external Hayes Accura V.90/Flex External Dual-Mode Modem. I got the new modem to use primarily with Linux, and am shifting the 56K internal PCI modem to the other machine in my LAN. Win95 finds the modem on COM2 (where I want it) at address 2F8 with IRQ 3. However, when I attempt to dial out, Win95 tells me that the modem is being used by another dial-up networking application or another program. Perhaps this will give some insight to those of you who know what you're doing. In Linux I made the link ttyS1------->modem. Kppp tells me 'Sorry the modem is busy' while minicom says that 'You are ready on line hang up" but the hang up command has no effect. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen P. Molnar, Ph.D. Life is a fuzzy set Foundation for Chemistry Stochastic and multivariant 614.486.4076
