I reinstalled 6.9 and found that I could eliminate the problem as long as I removed all .Xauthority files before doing startx. An ugly hack, but it works. The permissions of .X11-unix are srwxrwrwx. However, on the machine that works, they're the same, a sticky directory. .Xauthority doesn't seem to be empty when X is shut down. I didn't do anything as far as XAUTHORITY variables that I know of. So, I'll consider the problem semi solved. Again, I suspect the problem to be somehow related to this video card, but I don't have enough knowledge to know how that could be or how to fix it. Thank you for your efforts--for all practical puprposes, your suggestion solved the problem for me. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: Alright. I'll just jump into my time machine, go back to the 12th century and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.
