Wetmore) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd,comp.windows.x.i386unix Subject: xfree86 only works for root? Message-ID: <MfIsYa600WBMM8XVtb@andrew.cmu.edu> Date: 12 Jan 93 17:14:46 GMT Article-I.D.: andrew.MfIsYa600WBMM8XVtb Organization: Sophomore, Math/Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 18 I have gotten xfree86 to work on my machine (640x480x2 only, but its better than nothing). Anyway, it will only work if I am logged in as root. Without running as root the server comes up and then gives this message: "xterm: Error 14, errno 13: Permission denied" The permissions on xterm are: -rwxr-xr-x 1 19593 565248 Oct 1 00:57 xterm* Any ideas? Also, where can I get the X386 faq? I haven't seen it on any of the linux or bsd sites. And finally, does anyone have the dot-clocks for a pvga1 running in 800x600? Are there any plans in the future to support using more than 64k of memory for the X386mono server? It would be nice to get a large virtual screen in 800x600 mode (I should be able to get 1600x1200 with 256k of memory). thanks, alex
