I have no clue as to how that happened (probably cockpit error in switching the X symlink between versions), but a reinstall of xserver-svga fixed it. Bob

X weirdness after today's woody upgrade
After running an upgrade of woody today I notice two strange things happening with X: 1. If I try to run X as a user, I get the message: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. The second line in Xserver says "Console" so a user should be permitted to run X. 2. I had set X to run the version 3 xserver-svga, but version 4.01 runs instead. However, /etc/X11/X is a symlink to /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA and /etc/X11/Xserver says: /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA Console The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server. The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server: RootOnly Console (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console) Anybody Prior to this upgrade I was able to run the version 3 server as a user (the reason I want version 3 is that xserver-xfree86 won't allow 1024x768 resolution on my Cirrus 5430 card). I hadn't shut X down for several days, so the problem might have been with an earlier upgrade. Does anyone know what is broken here? Bob

Are you out of quota or out of diskspace?? What happens if you start X as root?

X Weirdness
hi I've installed X 3.3.6-6 on my Toshiba Sat Pro 4270 (laptop). The machine has an S3 Savage card, and I've installed the latest drivers from the s3 site. The server is identifying my machine's video card correctly, and is not producing any errors on start up ... BUT ... all I get is a blank screen when I 'startx' ... the output from my X session is as follows: XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 1999 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

X weirdness
I've found a work-around solution to my problems with startx that I posted last night. For those who didn't see it, if I executed startx more than once, my machine would lock up solid. The solution? I enabled xdm at boot, and now that I'm learning how to use .xsession I can do what I want. Thanks to the Debian X maintainers! The packages are excellent. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
