This is kind of a shot in the dark but does your user have read/write access to /var/log ?



No user, other than root, or some other privileged user you've created should have direct write access to /var/log. Ever.



I did as Andrew Benton suggested and am running Xorg suid root. All users, my wife and I :), can now run X.

I've continued reading the HOWTO. In my Mandrake distro, I don't have any local x configuration files in my home directory--.xinitrc, .xsessions, .Xresources, etc. All the global ones are executable scripts. I'll play with those, see what happens and post here.

Thanks for the help.
