Fellows, I've got a SuSE 7.0 system with KDE2. I don't what I've done, but none but root can login using any X GUI. Console logins work OK. Any X login just results in the X server being restarted, and in /var/log/messages I only find rows like "session started for user lennartb, service xdm" immediately followed by "session finished for user lennartb, service xdm". What to do? Where to search for logs? I suspect a permission problem, but without any error messages I'm lost... (root can do X logins perfectly OK) /Lennart Börjeson

Look /var/log/XFree86.0.log after trying to startx as non-root. Towards the end of the file you should see somthing about why X aborts. Regards -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
