I corrected permissions /usr , and I still get an authentication failed trying to 'startx' as a regular user. I forget the proper way to fix this. I tried to remove .Xauthority and .Xdefaults I get the following... xinit: Connection refused (error 111): Unable to connect to X server. xinit: No such process (error 3): Server error I'm too frustrated with the other problems to think clearly on this one, so your help is appreciated. Thanks... Dan.
