Branden, I've been running woody, and X 4.0.whatever. :-) We had a power event here last night that was a result of another event last weekend. So, my desktop machine was shut down last weekend and last night (Thursday the 7th). I had no problems when I powered it up after last weekend. It was smooth sailing all the way. This morning, however, I ran into a problem where I could not run X as anything but root. I tried a reinstall of most of the X pieces-parts using apt-get install --reinstall That didn't fix it. I went looking through the docs and found reference to "Xwrapper." But it seems that Debian has no Xwrapper. :-) So, the suggested fix of changing the call of X to Xwrapper in xserverrc didn't bring me joy. What I wound up doing is changing /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config I changed the line that said allowed_users=rootonly to be allowed_user=console That seems to have done the trick and I am working away in X now. Hurray! I can't pinpoint anything, but it would seem that something broke between 12-1 and 12-7. Hope this helps you or someone. :-) Regards, Stu -- Stuart Krivis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fourth law of programming: Anything that can go wrong wi sendmail: segmentation violation - core dumped ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
