X Windows : Newbie

2003-03-19 Thread Van Wyk Leroux, Mr [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
If I run XF86config as root, will the file that it creates be used by all other users 
as well?
I have just finished configuring the XF86Config.X Windows now starts up as root.As 
soon as I change to another user and try to start x (startx), I get an error and X 
Windows doesn't want to start.

Any ideas?

Thanx
LeRoux

Yes

 I have just finished configuring the XF86Config.  X Windows now
 starts up as root.As soon as I change to another user and try to
 start x (startx), I get an error and X Windows doesn't want to
 start.
 

Include the error messages.  There are several reasons why this can
happen.

They all uses the same file.

Are you logged in to X as root and at the same time trying to connect as 
a user? What says the error message?
