Hi, I tried starting x from the console as myself (not root) , but I'm not allowed to use startx unless I'm root.
I can't seem to find an Xwrapper on my system either, is this a shell script, or a binary I can download? I'm really confused as to why I can't login with xdm as root or myself, but I can run startx as root and it loads up fine. Could it be the xauth? Thanks Ian P.
