I've been looking online for resources that may help me, but I haven't found anything that worked. I'm trying to run x as a non-root user. Any suggestions? I get the messages: Fatal server error: PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. Here is what I've tried: 1) chmod 777 /dev/console 2) /etc/pam.d/xserver looks like: auth sufficient pam_rootok.so auth required pam_console.so account required pam_permit.so auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so auth required /lib/security/pam_permit.so account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
