I recently started getting the following error message when I try to
run xinit as a user:
X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
I've been running XFree86 4 for awhile (about 2 months before it
entered woody), and have never received this error message. I can't
remember, but it seems the error showed up about 3 days ago, right
after I upgraded several of the X packages.
I can still run X as root, and can use xdm or gdm for users, but I
prefer starting it from the command line, so that I can quickly open up
an X session on another virtual terminal whenever I want.
Any suggestions about what the problem might be? I would prefer to be
using potato, but vmware demands a later libc6 that's not in that
distribution.
