Don't do that. Running X as root - or, indeed, running more as root than you have to in general - is bad security practice. You should run as an ordinary user instead and use sudo or similar to become root when you need to. (There are probably ways to let you log into X as root, but I would strongly advise against using them.) > If I login as 'normal' user it's ok, and than I can use su and switch > to root, but no matter what I tried, I can't login to the machine as > root.
