Hi, From the root console: # /usr/bin/xcdroast The reply: (xcdroast:18770): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: If I start from a user console I get the window that says you must first start as root to set up. If I set the suid bit on xcdroast it tries to start from a user but dies. Any help or ideas appreciated. Debian unstable - kernel version = 2.6.17.8 bob rvh@abcreek.wisequackranch.com
