Ok, I've tried running xdm. X won't load
at all for root, & tries for users but
stops. Startx works for root only. When
I run Xwrapper, I get the following:
execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 (errno 2)
I know I shouldn't run X as root for sure,
but right now, that's the only way I can
do it. I'm running 4.3 stable on a Toshiba
4015cdt laptop. Everything else is running
fine. Use the laptop for email & studying
docs, info, etc. while I'm away on my job.
I know I can maybe do a cvsup & rebuild
everything & make it work again for awhile,
but eventually it always screws up again.
Can someone at least tell me why this
happens everytime & just point me to read
what's pertinent. Not looking for easy fix,
just trying to get X working for users &
more than willing to read whatever I need
to. Only problem is, I've had a really hard
time in the past understanding what I read
on this problem. Thanks for any & all help!
