Can someone help this person, please? ----- Forwarded message from Karl Sackett <krs@hsv.tybrin.com> ----- From: Karl Sackett <krs@hsv.tybrin.com> To: branden@debian.org Subject: Deb 2.2 - startx works, xdm and gdm don't Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 14:38:59 -0500 Delivered-To: branden@localhost.deadbeast.net Delivered-To: branden@deadbeast.net Message-ID: <20000824143859.A12173@server.hsv.tybrin.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.2i I've installed Debian 2.2 on a workstation and I'm having problems getting X to work properly. I've gone through the docs, config files, and the Debian mailing list archives, but I can't find anything that points out what my problem is. When I start the X server with startx everything works fine. When I try logging in through xdm the session fails and the following messages appear in .xsession-errors: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xrdb: Can't open display ':0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xmodmap: unable to open display ':0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server /usr/bin/X11/WindowMaker fatal error: could not open display ":0" I get similar messages when I use gdm instead of xdm. These are all clean installations -- the only file I've modified is XF86config and everything else works fine X-wise if I use startx. Do you have any ideas about where my problem is? I'll appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks. -- Karl Sackett krs@hsv.tybrin.com Tybrin Corporation ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
