X only as root
I have been using XF86v4 for a while with no trouble. Recently however, after
exiting an X session as a user (working fine) and trying to restart it as the
same user I get:
> X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
All other users except root cannot access X. Root gets in fine.
/etc/X11/Xserver is set like this:
> /usr/bin/X11/XFree86
> Console
I also tried changing Console to Anybody, with no change. Before exiting X I
had synced Woody with apt-get dist-upgrade, but I don't think it's an upgrade
problem. I think I screwed it up. I did an xhost +hostname while in X earlier
as a user trying to figure out why a program that was suid wouldn't run, but
that wouldn't do this would it? What else can I check?
