Maybe rename /home/frank/.xinitrc to /home/frank/.xinit.rc.backup Then copy /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc to /home/frank and rename xinitr= c to .xinitrc (and chown it to frank while youre at it). As you have it now and you start as root it currently uses /usr/local/lib/X= 11/xinit/xinitrc. When you start as user it might use /home/frank/.xinitrc.= =20 Working? herbs On Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:25:50 +0200 Frank Wi=DFmann <frank.wissmann41@web.de> wrote: > herbert langhans wrote: > > Also check if you have the /etc/x11/xorg.conf -- root 644.
