Can anyone tell me if it's worth my
while to either completely uninstall
all of X & reinstall the latest version,
or do a new "X-less" install & then add
X afterward to the latest version, in
order to try to get rid of the problem
I've always had with X breaking for
users other than root? I know about
xdm & xwrapper, but I hate to admit
I guess I'm just not knowledgable
enough to get them to work right.
I've rtfm a lot & experimented
around with all the config files,
but so far, no luck on that issue.
I have 4.3 stable on an old Toshiba
4015CDTlaptop. I've avoided cvsup
since it always seemed to break
things too, so it's pretty much a
stock system. Incidentally, what
is it that breaks X for users?
Does it have anything to do with
root using X? I notice that every
time it's about ready to happen,
things will start messing up, like
a user won't be able to maintain
buttons, menu stuff, desktop cfg,
etc, from 1 xsession to another.
Thanks for all help.
Never eat more than
you can lift.
