Sluggers,

I've just installed Debian on a VMware virtual machine, and I'm
trying to get it to run X. So I installed the packages and the 
xdm login screen comes up no problems. When I try to log in 
however it appears to accept my username etc but then it just
throws me back out. In the users .xsession-errors file there are 
messages like, 

  Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by the server
  Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
  /usr/bin/X11/WindowMaker fatal error:could not open Display ":0"

If I kill off X and xdm and log in as root on the console and
then do a "startx", no problems. A normal user however cannot
startx, it just flicks up then dies.

Hints?

Thanks

Pete
