Oliver, this is a really strange error, indeed. I couldn't find anything wrong in either your configuration file, Xorg.0.org or kdm.log.
If possible, could you please start one of the affected programs on an *empty* directory, using "strace -a 100 -s 4096 -ff -o output.log <program>", and hit Ctrl+C as soon as you receive the above error message? Please send compress the contents of this directory and attach it to this bug message. Thank you in advance for the feedback! -- Failed to open device while starting any X program https://launchpad.net/bugs/47464 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
