Yes, but I noted that the same problem arises with either vesa or mga:
root succeeds but ordinary user fails.
The mga X driver is no longer maintained and has it own problems which
is why I tested with both vesa and mga.
Nevertheless even mga works as root and has been working until a couple
of weeks ago.
So I am pretty sure that *this* bug is not directly associated with the
particular driver. (Or they share common buggy code..)
Thanks for the reply,
