When startx is run it produces output which should be captured in a log file or you can capture it with a redirect, The thing to do in my opinion is to compare the output as root to the output as a normal user. Watch carefully for errors that are produced. Focusing on the differences between the two outputs or the error output should point you to the locus of the problem. You might post the difference(s) an maybe some advice will emerge. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
