I have upgraded to XFree86 4.1 via mandrake update. when I try to startx from run level 3 as a user i recieve the error, "authentication failed-cannot start X server. Perhpas you do not have console ownership?" This started becasue I wanted to isntall tux typing which required libSDL1.2, libSDL_mixer1.2 and libSDL_image1.2. I did not want to use a --nodeps or --force to get this game working so to fulfill deps i let the updater install a new Pam package and Xfree 4.1 and all the packages,fonts and all for X. I am running Mandrake 8.0 on kenel 2.4..3-20. (stock kernel I think,no upgrade) Any suggestions on what to do to be able to startx from the console as user? TIA, John W
