Does XFree86 have a sticky owner bit? It's supposed to.
]]>I can startx as root, so maybe it's a permissions thing. I'm totally mystified about this...
this is my /var/log...

When I startx as root it's creating another log file with root permissions...maybe that is part of the problem. Any ideas??
