Is there /NO/ other way than the sched.so fix? I don't want to run my X server as root since all the settings will be wrong etc.

- Your X server runs as root anyway. If you use a login manager like kdm, you won't even see the difference. The script provided for a startx replacement starts the server as root and then starts the session as user, so that shouldn't be a problem either. brain0 15:01, 25 September 2006 (PDT)
