Since I compiled a new version of Xfree86 (using the makefile in ports
collection) xload has given me the following message:

xload: can't open kvm files wØ¿ï

(the characters after the word "files" change from time to time).

But if I su as root in the same xterm, it works fine, so I suspect it's a
permission problem in a file somewhere. But what file? Any ideas?


Thanks,
