I am in the process of upgrading from stable to testing on a single pc. I can start X as root using startx, but when I try with my username I get the following message: x: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. I've read what man pages seem relevent without success. I don't recall having to do anything when I started using stable. My .Xauthority files are still there unchanged. To upgrade I used dump to copy stable to another partition and upgraded that. Thanks -- Dave Hardman Canberra
