- Subject: X debugging
Hi,
I'm trying to step through /usr/local/bin/X with gdb.
I'm using ddd/gdb on my main pc, and using it with ssh
to debug X on another remote pc.
In gdb/ddd, X complains with:
Fatal server error:
Cannot open log file "/usr/local/var/log/Xorg.0.log"
I did: ddd X
The line that fails is:
if ((logFile = fopen(logFileName, "w")) == NULL)
FatalError("Cannot open log file \"%s\"\n", logFileName);
Do i need to start X as a root user or something?
ls -l /usr/local/bin/X
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 4 2006-07-11 14:25 /usr/local/bin/X -> Xorg
ls -l /usr/local/bin/Xorg
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root staff 7592426 2006-07-11 14:25 /usr/local/bin/Xorg
