I have a problem. (So what else is new, right?) I'm running Gnome 2.2.2
under SuSE 9.0 Pro. When I try to access YaST2 via the Gnome menu and
after entering my root password, I get the following error:

Gnome SuperUser: b: connection to":0.0" refused by server

Someone suggested:

Try running, in a terminal,

sux
[ enter your root password ]
YaST2

Here's what happened:

dhenson@linux:~> sux
Password:
linux:/home/dhenson # YaST2
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server
 
y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :0.0

Everything else appears to be working okay and, in fact, I can execute
YaST2 from the command line and YaST comes up in it's gui form and works
as expected. If some of you smart people could suggest a way to proceed,
I'd appreciate it.
