If I try to log in as root I get instead: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server Error: Can't open display: :0 This is 4.0 Release, freshly installed from the CD, with XFree86-3.3.6, likewise freshly installed from the CD. The xdm configuration is identical to what I've been using on 3.4-stable (and previous) for years, and worked on 4.0-current (before the release) and now on 4-stable on an Alpha. The failing machine is a Pentium 233 with a Permedia AGP video board. startx works fine for both myself and root, so it's something with xdm. I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found a clue. Can anyone suggest *which* FM to RTFM? Thanks.
