The logfile's not writeable for normal users... Make it either 664, if you want all X users in a given group, or 666 otherwise. Make sure that /var/log is 1777...

Is now $#!@* ;) Hi again, I re-ran XF86Config, and used the PS/2 mouse option instead of the IntelliMouse option, and everything seems to work fine. startx will load up the xterm-ish WM and the mouse tracks and responds properly. If I su to my normal user account, and startx, I get: Fatal server error: Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. I checked the permissions on that logfile and have: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 23362 Oct 26 12:19 /var/log/XFree86.0.log Now, here's the tricky part: I set up root's .xinitrc with startkde. and it loads and runs KDE2 just like it should. Everything works. I realize this may be a problem with KDE more than anything else, but, Any ideas?
