I can't see why it is a permission problem because I did a chmod 666 /var/log/XFree86.0.log and the problem still exist. It also complained about "no screens found", but I can startx as root. Does any one have any idea? Using the same XF86Config as root, here is the error I got when I use "Xwrapper" as a regular user: XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) Release Date: 16 March 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
