hi there
i just set up a new woody-box with xfree 4.1 and gnome 1.4*.
gdm runs fine and i can login there or running startx X as root. however, if i try to log in through gdm or running startx as a normal user, i can not run X and fall back to gdm or to the console respectively.
if i have a look at my /var/log/XF there are entries like those:


Try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common", and when asked who has permission to run X, select Console Users (or something similar to that).

Alternatively, edit /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config so the following line reads thusly:

allowed_users=console
