Jack, I had the same problem when I upgraded a few weeks ago and, after investigating, found that SuSE had changed permissions to add a little security to the X-window system. Any ID that you want to be able to run X windows has to be added to a group called "xok" so users can access the /usr/X11R6/bin directory. Try that. Stuart --- Jack Malone wrote:

I will try an run xf86Setup when i return to town tomorrow an see if that fixes the problem.

Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (NIV)
