Well, no go. Still getting this with either meph or root: startx: line 111: xauth: command not found startx: line 112: xauth: command not found startx: line 111: xauth: command not found startx: line 112: xauth: command not found startx: line 150: xinit: command not found startx: line 1: xauth: command not found WTF? I'd copied the xorg.conf to a backup, moved the XF86Config-4 over & tried it, then renamed it xorg.conf & tried again. Apparently, the problem doesn't lie there, & I can't find anything wrong with either xauth or xinit. -- It is better to kiss an avocado than to get in a fight with an aardvark To unsubcribe send e-mail with the word unsubscribe in the body to: Linux-Anyway-Request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?body=unsubscribe
