The server does not think you have the authorization to connect to the server. My first guess would be that you built X with PAM support. However, I seem to recall that error being worded slightly differently, and from what you said, I assume you installed X from the 4.0 CD? I've been snooping in the X sources and found parts of the error, but it's rather complicated in there. Have you done any other customizations to the setup? > The TMPDIR info that you mentioned never showed up in the > /tmp directory. That is where errors end up if for some reason, xdm cannot write to .xsession-errors. > I also tried copying Xsession (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/ > Xsession) to .xsession, adding the window manager statements on the root > directory. That didn't work either. I would not expect it to. What you should do to try the most basic setup is not copy Xsession to .xsession, but rather just go with no .xsession at all. > PS - Blackbox is just another window manager. OK.
