Obviously, some users are not allowed_users. man Xwrapper.config says: allowed_users = rootonly|console|anybody Specify which users may start the X server through the wrapper. Use rootonly to only allow root, use console to only allow users logged into a physical console, and use anybody to allow anybody. The default is console. Have you set it to "anybody"? -dsr-
