For the PC that never goes-online, I login as root. *sorry*!! Now I've got a subtle/complex problem that seems to be related to the font-server. I read that only root can change the font-server. I don't want to reboot, and lose all my work, but wanted to see/if what a non-root user sees in X. Because I didn't cultivate the habit of pretending I'm various different non-root userS, I just *assumed* that this multi-user OS could log different users into different X configurations. I favour blacbox, but Mary may prefer twm. The error is <server already active on display 0> What am I doing wrong? Can I change the font-server settings, and still recover my work? Is it possible that after the system boots, it's OK; but exercising various programs, changes some font-setting, which then makes xpdf ...etc. fuzzy? == TIA.
