Yet again, the same exact problem I had.  So far I have only been able
to fix this by running xdm and logging in from there.  Does anyone know
a solution so you can actually "startx" as a non-root user?  This also
looks like its becoming a FreeBSD-specific problem . . .

Subject: [Newbie]No X as normal user


I have version 4.0.3 installed on FreeBSD 4.3 this is on an IBM with the
Intel
i810 on-board graphics. I have been able to get X started as root
but when I try startx as a normal user it errors out with the
following error:

xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "lute.willinet.net:0" in "add" command

Fatal server error:
Can not open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log"

So this is all I can give you at this time. When checking the log file
all I get is the info from the last root session.

Looking forward to hearing from you on this.

Lute
