Sorry, I don't remember reading your original message so I'm not familiar with the exact problem you're experiencing. Those messages are generic messages that the X server prints when it stops a client from connecting to it (for example, it might not be authorised to connect). "6826" is the PID of the Xorg process, and the last pid in each message is the PID of the client that was rejected. Do you know what process these PID's belong too? Regards Chris
