Even if running X under root, it's the same behaviour. Unless devd is restarted, there is no sound or xdialogs. If I restart devd from another console, then the sound device becomes available and sound can be heard, but no Xdialogs. If devd is restarted from within X, then both sound and Xdialogs are ok. This is with any window manager, and nothing much else is running here to screw things up. The script is definitely being run on the keypress each time. There's obviously something I'm missing about devd here. > > ln -s /home/<user>/.Xuathority to /root/.Xauthority > > and of course add > > DISPLAY=:0 before Xdialog > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
