Sorry for stepping in here, but I have been following this list on this subject for a while. My problem is probably related. Using ssh I can export the display as non-root to another machine, but not as root. Not even when starting an application, e.g. MandrakeUpdate, and entering the root password on the exported display, the application does not start. In fact _nothing_ tells you where the access violation is made. Recently, I also had problems starting X from the login console, but this one I have solved. My msec setting is 3 (normal). BTW: I'm following the cooker updates. Svante
