FYI, this is how the configuration line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers should look like: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X And also check /etc/X11/Xserver. The file explains itself. Mine looks like this: ----begin-/etc/X11/Xserver---- /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 Console The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server. The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server: RootOnly Console (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console) Anybody ----end---/etc/X11/Xserver---- Of course, The first line should be the X server for your video card, so this will probably not be the same as mine. The second line should, IMHO, preferrably be 'Console' and most definately not 'Anybody'. You don't want anybody who is logged in via telnet (or has opened an xterm) to be able to start another X server. 'RootOnly' is for systems where 'untrusted' users can log in at the console.
