hey everybody!
this is my first working install of a *nix system, and i can't get XF86
to start up on my Starmax 3000, using the built in video. i ran
xf86config, and i'm pretty sure i set it correctly to what i need (i
have an ibm e74 monitor). but i get the following error:
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/shaitan/.Xauthority
<repeats this 4 times>
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/shaitan/.Xauthority
any hints/suggestions? i dunno what more info you guys will need but i
will post as needed. like i said, i am the super noob right now to
this. :)
TIA!
