I have noticed that when ever I try to su to root from an xterm (or Eterm) window when using X loaded from xdm, it does not work, it just give me a message (I forgot it and I am not at this workstation to recreate) saying something about the PID and stuff. Now if I kill X and then kill xdm and do a startx, it works normally. Could someone please give me an idea on what is wrong. Thanks Squeaky P.S. I am still having problems with my Sound Card at home, if anyone has a kernel config that works for a SoundBlaster PCI64V could you please send it to me.
