How can I get x windows to run under any user other than root or su? When I logon as a normal user and try to run my x windows (using startx) the xserver starts and then it exits because No valid modes found. When I try to run xdm, it says, only root wants to run xdm; but when I su from this same account everything seems to run fine. Someone suggested modifying the xwrappers.config file, but I discovered I dont have one. Does anyone know how to fix my problem?
Also Im having trouble understanding the user/group system under Linux. I dont know how to add users to groups and how to modify groups and users access privileges for certain application (like x windows). I cant find any useful information in the HOWTOs. Can anyone tell me where to look (or just explain it to me) ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/
