- I've solved my X startup problem.
-
- My problem was that the X server would quit during startup. The real
- problem was that XTerm was not able to redirect the console to a
- window.
-
- The solution was to make XTerm setuid root.
-
- Funny thing, though: using 713, I was able to run no problem. The
- C define UCONSOLE determines if non-root can set the console or not -
- see /sys/kern/tty.h. Was the "default" value of UCONSOLE changed
- at some point?
