Hi all. I'm running SuSE Linux 9.2 pro. I run X with startx as a normal user. If I try to su to root and run an application in a root console under KDE, I cannot connect to the display. But if I shutdown X, and start it from the console as root user with startx, I can then connect to the display. Can anyone help me please? I need to connect as root to the display, after starting X as a non-root user. Is there some config file I need to alter to allow root@localhost to connect to the display? Regards Keith Roberts In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
