Whoa! I just thought of something. Did you start the X server as root? Maybe something like "sudo startx" or su and then startx? That would account for the Xserver being able to open the graphics device and the log file, but the client xterm can't authenticate as the same user who owns the Xserver. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
