Re: [Plug] Running X on a laptop revisited
|
I have the same error when I SU to root, but I didnt think it was cause I
was connected to the internet. But in the help for kppp is the directions
on how to set up kppp to run for normal users.

:OK, just to let everyone know:
:
:I finally did get X working. It seems it was a combination of both
:suggestions. The XFCom_neomagic driver was necessary *and* I didn't have a
:window manager properly installed. Seems that in trying to squeeze Linux
:onto a hard drive partition that wasn't quite large enough, I deselected the
:wrong things to not install during the initial setup. Doh! I used my trusty
:Partition Magic to redo my partition sizes and once I gave myself about
:600MB (between swap and native space) to play with, I didn't have to
:unchoose too much to get a proper install. I also had to make one more ln -s
:than the XFCom instructions said to do, but once I did both of those things,
:it worked! Yay!
:
:Now I have to figure out why Netscape won't run when I dial in to my ISP. It
:runs ok if I'm not dialed in, but once I connect (and it seems successfully
:so, since I can ping www.<someplace>.com), I get 3 errors in the terminal
:window that I try to start Netscape from. To quote:
:Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
:Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server.
:Error: Can't open display: :0
:I get this when I'm logged in as root. I know I shouldn't do that, but when
:I log in as normal me and try to start up kppp, I get the message "kppp not
:properly installed. binary must be installed with SUID bit set."
:
:The trials and travails of learning a new OS. Sigh.

:Thanks,
:Wayne

:P.S. Sorry for the MIME garbage. I'm trying to get our Exchange admin to
:change the server settings so my plain text messages go out as plain text.
