Hope there's somebody out there who can help me with the following problem: When I type "startx" as root all is coming up as expected, the X-Server and twm as WM. When I stop it, log in as a normal user and do the same there is only a grey screen with a mouse-cursor coming up and doing nothing until I kill the X-Server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. On the original screen from which I tried to start is shown the following error message: AUDIT: Thu Apr 3 20:34:48 2008 836 X: client 1 rejected from localhost (uid 1001) Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to "0:0" refused by server Xlib: Protocol not supported by server .xinitrc and .xsession both have the same contens "exec startxfce4" and the permissions "rwxr-xr-x". Any thoughts please? TIA Frank
