can you run any other X program (try xclock, for example) under these very circumstances? If you get the same Xlib error, then I suppose you were logged in as root while running make xconfig, but started the X server under your regular userid (which is good, btw). In this case do a xauth merge ~<your regular username>/.Xauthority (...hopefully not starting the same old discussion about what else you can do and why not -- it's all in the archives ;) Regards, Erdmut > Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server > Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server > Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display ":0" > Error in startup script: invalid command name "button" > while executing > "button .ref" > (file "scripts/kconfig.tk" line 51) > make: *** [xconfig] Error 1 -- Erdmut Pfeifer science+computing ag -- Bugs come in through open windows.
