Hi All

I have a real strange problem with using X windows. If I login or su to
root from a normal shell ie; not from X windows and then  login or exit
to non root user and startup X my sytem freezes up totally. I can't
switch to another terminal and login (I do get the login prompt but not
a password prompt) the only way  to get back into my system is by doing
a hard reset. To be able to use X again is to remove /tmp/.X11-unix and
then reboot and login as a normal user . My system is 3.3 and I'm using
fvwm95. Though the same thing occurs with gnome and kde and fvwm also.
Any ideas???

Thanks,

Dave
