That's because this is a mailing list. http://www.webnovice.com/mailing_lists.htm : "Basically, all mailing lists work the same way: Any messages sent to the list manager that are intended for the list members get delivered to every member on the list in their mailbox. When a member of the list logs onto the Internet with their email program, the list messages are delivered just like any other email. In other words, if you send a message to the list, everyone who is subscribed to receive messages from the list will get them. Pretty simple, huh?" > what is this all i want to know why cant anyone but > root startx tthats all cant u asnwere this its s > permission problem so you should know what it is Because of your lack of grammar and ortography and very sloppily formulated question. Such is usually a good predictor that somebody won't be able to understand the answer and that it would be a waste of time to try. Sorry if that sounds elitist - I don't write it to slight you, it's just my experience :( You also sound like somebody who expects customer service -- but you are not a customer of the XFree86 project. You are a customer of whomever you bought your computer from (unless it was a gift ;) ), perhaps also of the company you bought your graphics card from and of the company you bought your Linux (?) distribution from (presuming you bought it). If you paid somebody money then you can ask for customer support from them -- and /do/ indeed deserve to be treated as a customer. The volunteers at the XFree86 project will be glad to help you if you provide enough information for us to be able to help you and do your part of the work, for example looking up faqs, searching the mailing list archives, google for information. If you don't they tend to ignore you at best because then you are to all intents and purposes just noise. -Peter PS: The question about the X server requiring root priviliges /was/ answered recently on the mailing list. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
