--bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, It looks like I have upgraded parts of XFree86 while installing some other ports, and I now seem unable to make even local connections to my X server. I must admit, X is something I set up years ago on this machine, and have just set and forgot---as such, I do not even have a good appreciation for what information might be useful for people to help me debug this. The machine was originally running one of the early 4.X releases, and that is when X was installed. It's now running 4.8. The following have been installed recently: drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 26 01:28 XFree86-clients-4.3.0_6/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 26 01:29 XFree86-fontEncodings-4.3.= 0/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 26 01:30 XFree86-fontScalable-4.3.0/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 28 19:36 XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_6/ I usually login via xdm, started as root with 'xdm -nodaemon &'. I am currently unable to log in as a non-root user, and I get the following in ~/.xsession-errors when I try: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server twm: unable to open display ":0" I presume this has something to do with access control, but I've never needed to set up anything for local access before. While I am keen to get suggestions on how to correct this access control glitch, I would be happy to fully upgrade X if that's recommended. Somewhat embarrassingly, I'm not even sure how this should be done---via ports? --=20 Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAalyP730Z/jysbzIRAjEPAJsGG8SVZ6Pb8b1qwXL5aup3DV1LXgCdHNXA GsvB960WE1p8T1o/9tXyXEM= =xPdJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5--
