Recently I installed Xfree and then KDE. It worked for a few days and then yesterday Xfree stopped working for any user other than root. After searching archives/FAQ I found a note on running "X -probeonly 2>some file name". I did. The output did not have any errors. I did notice on another console that there was an error about "non present SYSVMSG". Recompiled my kernel with SYSVMS (FreeBSD). Now there is no error, but I still can not use Xfree from other users. I tried using fvwm2 instead of kde and it doesn't work either. Before adding SYSVMG KDEhelp was doing a core dump, but not after adding SYSMSG. Fvwm2 core dumps even after adding SYSVMSG. The only thing I know to have changed was that when I first installed Xfree the rights were not correct and there were a number of things which regular users did not have access to. Found a couple of scripts to recursively chmod to 755. I did this only on the KDE directories and not on Xfree. Other than running X -probeonly anything else that can be done to troubleshoot? How can I check if I correctly added SYSVMSG on the kernel? I also added SYSVSEM in case KDE was looking for that. What I don't understand is if root works why another user doesn't.
