Re: [newbie] X-Server Problems
The problem is that your X-server does not allow other users applications to connect to it. To solve this, you start your X-server, and type in 'xhost +' (without quotes...), then you'll be able to start graphical application after having su'd to another user.

It's a pain having to log out, then in as root just to edit some text files, or update certain programs :( Any help appreciated.

[newbie] X-Server Problems with MDK 6.1 :(
Hi, I've installed MDK 6.1 from the CD I was sent and everything went fine untill I started up GIMP. When I tried to select a custom colour, the panel became distorted. I've taken a screenshot of it. http://www.btinternet.com/~engprin1/gimp.jpg I e-mailed Gael Duval and it seems as though it is an x-server problem. What would be the best thing for me to do here? un-Install XFree86 3.3.4, and put 3.3.3 back on? Or is there something else I could do? I've tried different settings etc, and I've forced a re-install of GIMP from my old MDK6 cd, but it still happens. I've tried using the VooDoo3 and Banshee Drivers (that are on the card list by default now ), but I've not had any luck either way. If putting XFree86 3.3.3 back on is a solution, whats the easiest way of taking 3.3.4 away safely? Thanks for any help. -- Best Regards, Paul Hendrick http://www.btinternet.com/~engprin1/linux.htm

Does it work correctly with 3.3.3? Have you changed Gtk libraries recently? Do you see corruption like this in other apps? Might be something to ask the Gtk and XFree people about. If putting XFree86 3.3.3 back on is a solution, whats the easiest way of taking 3.3.4 away safely? rpm -Uvh --oldpackage blah to replace all the XFree86-3.3.3 packages. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]
