x won't start (nonly starts from root)

[MonkeyMartin]

I can startx from root but when i am a normal user it won't work

this is the meseg that i get

Code: Select all

Faile to add glx extention (nvidia XFree86 drive not found) /home/mike/.xinitrc: /home/mike/.xinitrc: permission denied

I have a .xinitrc file in /home/mike

I just thinlk it is a problem with permissions

or do i have to edit this file

I just thinlk it is a problem with permissions

So it looks like

try as root following:

Code: Select all

chown -R mike:users /home/mike

and then again try to startx as mike - hope it works for u
