Not sure about the argument ordering:
xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X -conf /etc/X11/xorg.webc.conf :1 -auth /tmp/serverauth.CBjhw27703
xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X :1 -conf /etc/X11/xorg.webc.conf -auth /tmp/serverauth.CBjhw27703

However both fail with:

	Fatal server error:
	Unrecognized option: -conf

Still a bit confused over X & Xorg:

x61:~% ll /usr/bin/Xorg /usr/bin/X
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 7.4K 2008-01-06 20:20 /usr/bin/X*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.6M 2008-05-18 12:55 /usr/bin/Xorg


Why can't X take Xorg's arguments? (-conf)


Why does Xorg suffer perm problems whilst X doesn't?

webc@x61:~$ grep perm /home/webc/justXorg.log
(WW) xf86ReadBIOS: Failed to open /dev/mem (Operation not permitted)
(WW) xf86OpenConsole: chown /dev/tty8 failed: Operation not permitted
(WW) xf86OpenConsole: chown /dev/tty0 failed: Operation not permitted
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)
webc@x61:~$ groups

Thanks again for helping me out,
