Hi,
I'm currently using Debian, installed from cd (2.2r0) and then upgraded.

My Xserver worked fine, it was a 3.x version. But now, after upgrade (to 4.0.1) it wont start as normal user.
Error is:
"X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting"

Anyone an idea?

Thanks,

Whistler

Edit /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
and change the line

allowed_users=rootonly

to

allowed_users=console

and your problems should be gone.

Yup, that did it!

Many thanks to you!
