It looks like when I run XFree86 as root, it drops its privileges for some reason. If I copy the binary to root's home dir and take off the setuid bit, it runs fine and probes the card. If I then copy the config file to /etc/X11 and restart the system, there are a bunch of "avc: denied" errors for XFree86.log in the syslog when gdm tries to start. Anyone have any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: fedora-test-list-bounces redhat com on behalf of Albert Wold Sent: Thu 4/1/2004 11:40 AM To: fedora-test-list redhat com Cc: Subject: system-config-display I have a brand new system with an 865 video card (I think) and a Dell 19" flat panel. When I installed, I don't remember seeing a section to configure X. When I booted, it tried to start X several times and gave up. After some digging, I found the system-config-display program and ran it. It says this: * ddcprobe returned bogus values: ID: None Name: None HorizSync: None VertSync: None Trying with card: Intel 865 Error, cannot start X server. So, apparently it doesn't work with this display. I also tried XFree86 -configure which gives me an error saying "unable to locate/open config file: "/root/XF86Config.new"". For now, I'm wondering if anyone knows of an alternate way to manually configure it. I see that there is no xf86config command, which is what I used last time I had to do a manual X config. -Al -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list redhat com To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
