It will run as root but not as user. xwrapper is installed. I think It's a matter of having to correct symbolic links (?). If you need more info to help me let me know and I'll find out. Thanks. 1. In my home I have the file: .xserverrc and the string: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper in that file. 2. In my /usr/X11R6/bin dir I have this link: X --> /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA Again X will not start as a user (will as root). I think I need to adjust, make, check some symbolic links to make it work(?) Any help appreciated. Lee G. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
