An x question, and a Permisions question

[kc5vxy@juno.com (Kevin J Poorman)]

Hi,

I learned (hard way) not to use root as my normal user.

but when I try to start X as ender(my user) I get this error

xinit: unexpected error 2.

How can I fix this?

now for the permisions question
in trying to fix the above X question I found that almost my entire /usr
directory is in the group root so I created a group called xprogs and
added ender to that group I then move the x server binarys to the xprogs
group but I still get the above error.

my question is this is it normal to have root own most of the /usr
directory? plus is it a good idea to have a xprogs group for users who
can run X? should I put all X binarys owned by that group?
How can I chown them all at once ?

-TIA

-Kevin,
