I'v faced a strange pbl with X. The plb is, whan i try to start some suided program i have message like this: for example i do $su and try to run some prog wich must be run from root. billy@dima 11:23:14 /$ su Password: root@dima 11:23:20 /# printtool Xlib: connection to "unix:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display "unix:0.0" -------the error is above this line--------------------------------------- Couldn't load bindings.tcl Start from control-panel or set environment variable CONTROL_PANEL_LIB_DIR to the control-panel library dir. (normally this is /usr/lib/rhs/control-panel) Or suided mtvp for fullscreen mode shows this: billy@dima 11:29:55 mpegs$ ls /usr/X11/bin/mtvp -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 732084 ��� 7 13:32 /usr/X11/bin/mtvp billy@dima 11:26:58 mpegs$ mtvp -df xxx.mpeg You must be root to set a fullscreen mode mtvp: cannot use fullscreen mtvp: You must be root (or mtvp must be set-uid root) to use fullscreen mtvp: For set-uid root, become root and use the following commands: mtvp: $ chown root mtvp; chmod +s mtvp mtvp: Then restart the program and try again... mtvp: Note: set-uid programs may create security holes mtvp: and should not be used (unless necessary) on secured systems mtvp: For details, read the README-Fullscreen file. But it runs whan i start X as root and it run whan i used RedHat 6.1 and startted it as normal user (the mtvp binary was suided) I suppouse the pbl lies in X itself.
