Hi,

Maybe this should go on redhat-install-list ? 

I have just upgraded my redhat box from a 7.0 (with lots of 7.1 and 7.2 rpm) to
7.2. I start X from the console using startx. I did it without problem just one
time. Now I can only start X as root. As a user, I get:

Fatal server error:
PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server.
        Perhaps you do not have console ownership?

I searched a bit on the web and I found my problem risen a lot of times, but I
haven't found a solution.

/dev/console is in mode 600 owned by root
/var/run/console.lock is present in mode 600 owned by root
/var/run/console contains a file with name the name of the user currently
logged, owned by root with perms 600

Any idea ?

Pat
