In openbox with root, I can use xterm. But if I log into a regular user account and load openbox, I can't run xterm.


Any ideas on how to fix this?

ls -l shows root:utmp for xterm and everything else in /usr/X11R6/bin/ is root:root

I exited my Xserver with ctrl-alt-delete and now I can't get back in.

I get an error

Can't move log file "/var/log/XFree86.*.log"

No matter what I use.. startx -- :1, :2, :3.... all the same.

I checked the log file and see that x is trying ot access /dev/apm_bios. I would need to stop it from doing that, but have no idea how.
