Hi When I try to start Yast 2 in KDE3 I get this:

" Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed key comparison) y2controlcenter: cannot connect to X server :0.0"

This came when I tried from Superusermodus Terminal. I dont manage to start Yast 2 in any way.

Could somebody explain what the message abov mean, and how can I fix it?

The X-Session you are running is 'owned' by you, the 'normal' user. Since 'root' is not the same user as you, root has no permissions to start applications on 'your' desktop. When trying to start yast2 from a console/xterm window, type (as 'normal' user kdesu yast2, that should work. Gr. GJR
