OMG! > But it only works for root. The gods of security have decreed that instead of startx you must use a display manager to login and start your X session. Don't let anyone know I suggested how to have startx work for other than root. ;-) The security gods have determined it is unreasonably dangerous (and it might not help): sudo chmod 4711 /usr/bin/Xorg startx IMO it's OK to use to test that X works at all before choosing and installing a display manager. Future updates will undo the chmod (for your safety). -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
