X won't load at all for root, & tries for users but stops. Startx works for root only. When I run Xwrapper, I get the following: execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 (errno 2) I know I shouldn't run X as root for sure, but right now, that's the only way I can do it. I'm running 4.3 stable on a Toshiba 4015cdt laptop. Everything else is running fine. Use the laptop for email & studying docs, info, etc. while I'm away on my job. I know I can maybe do a cvsup & rebuild everything & make it work again for awhile, but eventually it always screws up again. Can someone at least tell me why this happens everytime & just point me to read what's pertinent. Not looking for easy fix, just trying to get X working for users & more than willing to read whatever I need to. Only problem is, I've had a really hard time in the past understanding what I read on this problem. Thanks for any & all help! Never eat more than you can lift.
