Hi there, The reason you can't run X with securelevel 1 is that this level doesn't allow writing to /dev/kmem, which is required by X in order to function properly. You won't need to rebuild your kernel, but you will need to reboot your machine in order to drop from securelevel 1 -> 0. :) Hope this helps... :) Cheers, Marc On Fri, Nov 10, 2000 at 08:22:36AM -0600, Matt Bettinger wrote: > thank you. > > I am at work now but if you couldplease answer one more question... do you > think that could have something to do with X not firing up? ;-) > > I thought i read somewhere that you can up the security level but in order > to lower it you had torebuild your kernel Maybe i ammistaken.
