Hi, when triggering startx un user mode,I encountered two problems. The first one is that /dev/null was not user writable. The other one is an error message associated to my attempt to run an xterminal: there are no ptys available. When running as root, the xterm comes up with no problem. Still gdm does not work. Xdm works fine, but the xsession for the user does not (see above). Sergio
