Re: Newbie: Xsun cannot open /dev/kbd error 13



Thanks, Lerale and others who responded.  In searching the archives i
found the messages about being able to run as root but not as a user.  I
hadn't tried to run as root but that does work.  I suppose that means it
is a permissions issue and i should be able to figure it out from there.
Of course, it would be nice if the installation would handle things like
that.
