Re: X won't start for root - okay for other user

[Bob Hartung <rwhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can see no errors.  I cleared out the XFree86.log file and 
tried to boot as root.  I exported the contents to another 
file and cleared the contents of the log file again.  I then 
 started X as the user for which if works.  Again, I 
exported the log file to a text file.  I then ran diff -b 
'file-from-root' 'file-from-minitwr' and the differences 
reported are:

---output
16c16
< (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sat Dec  6 
17:31:48 2003
---
> (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sat Dec  6 
17:37:06 2003
----end output
Beyond this I don't really know where to go to look for the 
problem.

Pointers of where to start looking appreciated.  I tried to 
capture standared output with startx >> 
XFree86-startup-messages but the file is always empty.


Tnx,


Bob
