If use init 5 as root to start the GUI the console is error free. If I
execute startx as either root or an ordinary user the console is littered
with error messages mostly xorg config errors and python script errors. I
saw this in FC2 also.
As an experiment I ran all the scripts in the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d and then ran
startx. The error messages were still there. What else does the init 5
command do that might set up the environment to eliminate the errors? And,
shouldn't startx use this environment?
Thank you.
