i've gone thru the faqs and the X files (xfree86 docs) but i can't seem to find out why i would get this error message when i want to start X: rino@buzz:~$ startx -- -bpp 32 X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. i've checked on the ~/.Xauthority thing and tried to use xauth to "populate" it (currently it's zero length) but it still gives me the same error message. using xauth does not help as i cannot proceed with it because of the error message. i've move my /etc/sudoers out of the way because that's the last one i was tinkering before i got the error message from X. appreciate any help. thanks. -- Key fingerprint = 9DE1 5825 77B4 FF45 7485 D3EB DCCF DE48 09B6 4426 -------------------------------------------------------------------- And a few words from our sponsor: A vivid and creative mind characterizes you.
