- Hi everyone,
- I just Installed X11 last week (much thanks to the person who posted the
- information on how to run X on a VGA in 640x400). But I still have one
- problem. When I run X as a non-root user I get the message:
-
- Can't open '/dev/tty0'
-
- As far as I know, I followed all the instructions that said make sure you
- do <this> if you want to be able to run X as a regular user. Any help
- would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- Larry (butler@cs.tulane.edu)
