I had a similar problem, although in my case, I suspect it's due to some cheap hardware. At any rate, before starting X try xauth -b quit This will break any locks. (If your problem has similar causes as mine did, there will be an .Xauthority, and a couple of others--.Xauthority-c and .Xauthority-l, if I remember correctly.) Your description sounds as if it is similar, so perhaps this solution will help. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Cordelia: What's her saga?
