i just set up a new woody-box with xfree 4.1 and gnome 1.4*.
gdm runs fine and i can login there or running startx X as root. however, if i try to log in through gdm or running startx as a normal user, i can not run X and fall back to gdm or to the console
Try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common", and when asked who has permission to run X, select Console Users (or something similar to that).
Alternatively, edit /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config so the following line reads thusly:
allowed_users=console
thanks for your help, didn't even know about that type of access-control. however, this did not work for me.
what i did so far: - checked the permission of the users homedirs/dotfiles (ok) - added a new (non-root) user with an empty home-directory (no X) - set Xwrappers access to console-users
any idea what's going wrong?
