(note that as root you wouldn't notify this change), also make sure that /etc/X11/X is a symbolic link to your X server: this works for me with the same release of X you have. so install xserver-wrapper, try to configure your /etc/X11/XF86Config file (note the case of letters... this is not the xf86config program!) then launch X as root, but if X doesn't start as root you've problems with the XF86Config: check it. if all is okay, logout and login as a normal user and try again to launch X, if xserver-wrapper is okay, you're done. If not, you may have some missing symbolic links, these are mine's (i use the XF86_SVGA server): $ ls -al /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2711068 Mar 5 20:01 /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA $ ls -al /usr/X11R6/bin/xserver-wrapper -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 4976 Feb 4 15:18 /usr/X11R6/bin/xserver-wrapper (be care of the suid bit here) $ ls -al /etc/X11/X lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 23 12:07 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA $ ls -al /usr/X11R6/bin/X lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 23 11:46 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -> xserver-wrapper p.s. someone has problems again: to force X started by any user you may add the suid bit directly to the server as in: $ chmod +s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA BUT THIS IS A SECURITY HOLE! --> so i don't recommend this! instead you could decide to overcome the console login prompt and start X just after the boot using the xdm script (that no need to use the xserver-wrapper facility, at booting time it's ran by root, not by users) for this you've to change the defaul runlevel in /etc/inittab: look for a line like this: id:3:initdefault: and change it as in: id:5:initdefault: BUT FIRST MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF ALL YOUR CONFIGURATION FILES! (/etc/X11/XF86Config, /etc/inittab, etc... so you don't panic if something go wrong, mistyping, etc... ) hope this helps � bientot ciao fede -- Semper Voster -------------------------------------------- | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | | Via W.
