Hi,
I have XFree running on W2K and it is fine for me when I'm logged in as Admin but if I log in as a User it won't run. I have a feeling the answer is to set owner of xinit to root but as I'm using cygwin I don't think this is possible is it? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
PS: Please could you copy any replies to me directly as I haven't subscribed to the user's list. Thanks.
This is what I get when I try to run X:
bash-2.05$ ./xinit
ddxProcessArgument ()
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
_XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local
Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets
giving up.
./xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
./xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
bash-2.05$
