My default value for $DISPLAY is :0.0 rather than unix:0.0 Perhaps this accounts for it? I don't have a clue, I must admit, what xbobo is. Are you running this on the local machine in fact? What if you change DISPLAY to :0.0? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi. I've been looking around fo

Well, of _course_ if you are running as root and doing stuff in the user's directory any files you create are owned by root. The real solution: don't do that. The real fix after you've done it: in the same directory, chown -R user.user . For user "user". On Sun, 02 Apr 2000, you wrote: | H

When you login as a user then su to root and startx for the first time, it sounds like the authentication files are being set up for root. Delete the user, recreate the user, login as the user, startx as the user and see how that works. Tom "=?ISO-8859-2?Q?Deim_Ágoston?=" wrote: > > Hi ! > > I

I would like one effect I have noted concerning the shimmering effect will running KDE or any other gui. (refer to post entitled "X problems") I have found if I do a Ctrl-alt-F2 and then Ctrl-alt-F7 back this clears the problem for 10-30 seconds , then it reappears. Michael Cates
