Hi,
I've searched the archives for analogous problem, but found nothing, so

This is the problem: if I run startx as root the xrandr extensions runs, but
if I run startx as normal user they do not run:

Thanks a lot.

uhm, look in the module documentation and see if the module can work
with the perl version you have. the problem could be there.
however, after a quick grep trough the perl source, i think you can
replace 'sv_undef' with 'PL_sv_undef' to compile it.

you can configure your workstation's printer as a remote unix printer on
the samba server, then share it with samba. this way, print jobs will be
delivered to the samba server, and it will bounce them to your
workstation.

the glob function is implemented with csh, so this could be a csh
problem.

a few things you can check:
try checking with netstat -a if someone's listening on the ssh port on
the server;
run sshd -d, and try to connect with a client (your sshd -d dump is

grep sshd /var/log/auth.log
