Did you install XFree86 without suid root and then use startx rather than xdm? This is the most common cause of what you are seeing. You'll need to set the X server binary to suid root, or re-install with the config flag in host.def set to install as suid root. For example, for startx to work on Linux, it needs the properties to look like: -rws--x--x 1 root root 2019033 2003-06-25 12:49 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86* -- Kevin _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
