Yes, there are two solutions to be able to run startx as user. 1. Make sure xserver-xorg-legacy is installed and add the following line to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config. X will be running as root. needs_root_rights=yes or... 2. If you'd like to run X with only user privs, install libpam-elogind. fsmithred _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
