Hi Branden, With yesterday's update of xserver-common_4.01-10_i386 I can no longer run X with startx, which I always do. It yields the error message "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." I have narrrowed the change down to the one file /usr/X11R6/bin/X which is packaged in xserver-common. If I replace that one file with the previous version (4.01-9) the error goes away. Is this a deliberate change in authentication policy or just a bug? If it is deliberate I need to know how to do the authentication properly. Thanks for sharing your time and hard work with all of us out here!
