I have an IBM NetVista A20i, and it has Intel i810 on-board graphics, and I am running X 4.0.3 on it. The version of the handbook that came on the CD didn't cover the /dev/agpgart problem, but I was directed to the newer one at FreeBSD.Org, and was able to get that part hammered out, and X will now run as root, however when I try 'startx' as a normal user it crashes with an error: xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "lute.willinet.net:0" in "add" command Fatal server error: Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" So as you can see, the info that's needed is not being logged because it's not opening the file, when I look there all that's in it is the log from the last root session. Any help would be most appreciated. I have set X up on a few Linux boxes in the past, but this is the first time I've ever had a problem starting it as a normal user, and I'm at a loss -- Lute ...on the other hand, you have five fingers...
