logging back in, i find that startx and xinit no longer work under my username, but only under root (fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole:Server must be suid root).
does any one know what i'll have to do to get my functionality back? i already tried removing my username and creating a new one, but no luck, same error.
thanks a bunch!
here are my logfile and my config file:

CONFIG:
grrr... hotmail won't let me paste the config file...but...
the only changes i've made to it were adding ZAxisMapping for my mouse and changing to the NVidia driver and playing with my monitor resolution...
all of those changes have worked, and i haven't changed the config file again since i installed slackware 9.1.
if you still need it, let me know...
