Yes, that ( startx -- :1 ) works from a tty. I want to do it from an
xterm. Moorhuhn's command line is something like :
DISPLAY=":4" xinit `which wine` -display :4 \
/usr/lib/games/moorhuhn/moorhuhn.exe -- $(which Xwrapper 2>/dev/null) \
-depth 8 :4
...to which I get
Authentication failed - cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?
It must be something to do with permissions/authorisation, as I can
successfully run this command as root - I *don't* want to be root to play
games.
