After running an upgrade of woody today I notice two strange things happening with X:
1. If I try to run X as a user, I get the message: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. The second line in Xserver says "Console" so a user should be permitted to run X. 2. I had set X to run the version 3 xserver-svga, but version 4.01 runs instead. However, /etc/X11/X is a symlink to /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA and /etc/X11/Xserver says: /usr/bin/X11/XF86_SVGA Console The first line in this file is the full pathname of the default X server. The second line shows who is allowed to run the X server: RootOnly Console (anyone whose controlling tty is on the console) Anybody Prior to this upgrade I was able to run the version 3 server as a user (the reason I want version 3 is that xserver-xfree86 won't allow 1024x768 resolution on my Cirrus 5430 card). I hadn't shut X down for several days, so the problem might have been with an earlier upgrade. Does anyone know what is broken here? Bob
