- Hi,
- I posted the original article(Problems with X as root). I seem to have
- fixed my problem. I did :
-
- chmod u+s /usr/bin/X11/X386
- chmod u+s /usr/bin/X11/xinit
-
- The more I think about it the more I think this WAS in the installation
- instructions. I really didn't understand exactly what it was saying. It
- would be nice if the actual commands that need to be issued could be
- included in the future. Does any know where I could find a good source
- of information on how the permission flags should be set on a typical unix
- system.
-
- Thanks,
- Larry
