Hi there

I'm trying to run startx from the console after I logged in as a normal user.This 
doesn't seem to work.I have already run XF86Config as root, and if I do startx from 
root, X Windows starts up fine.Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Does a normal user use the same XF86Config file as root?

Look in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config. It probably looks like:

allowed_users=rootonly
nice_value=-10
If you want anyone phyically sitting at the machine to be able to start 
X, it should look like:
allowed_users=console
nice_value=-10
