display permissions
got a problem. for example when I am in x-windows logged in as myself, jim, I can su to root in a terminal but cannot launch any sort of windowed application, ie XMMS or xosview, because of lack of permissions to the display at :0. this is the same case when I run x-windows as root and su to someone else and try and run a windowed program. I just need to know how to change the permissions on display :0 A Page |

Re: display permissions
I don't think that chown or chmod will help much anyway because I think that the display permissions are in some text config file, maybe XF86Config or something similar, I just don't know which one. a page |

Re: display permissions
A general note - I wouldnt 777 anything, ever. 775 should be the most you need imho, spshly for root owned files! |
