I need help starting an X-terminal session. Here is what I am getting: Below, The X-terminal computer is named 'runner' and is running SuSE 6.1. I am calling 'X' on 'penguin' from user 'dwj' on 'runner'. 'penguin' is running Red Hat 6.1 with xdm started as a daemon, running from root. ---- $X -query penguin :1 XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 4 1999 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ) Operating System: Linux 2.0.36 i686 [ELF] Configured drivers: Mach64: accelerated server for ATI Mach64 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm. We strongly advise against making the server SUID root! When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages ---- I can run an X-terminal session in the opposite direction, i.e., $X -query runner :1 on 'penguin' with no problem. Thanks in advance for an explanation and suggestions for a fix.
