Can't run Xorg as user tc
mikshaw:
Just found something I'd overlooked. When using Xvesa I had redirected stdout and stderr to a file. I was still doing that with Xorg, so I didn't see the error. It is in fact the "can't open Xorg.0.log" message, so I have to go find those threads and learn something =o)
mikshaw:
Most of what I see relates to Xorg not being +s, but after checking it a third time I see that it is.
This thread: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=131.0 has Juanito suggesting to manually load some modules, so I'll try that next.
curaga:
What are the permissions of /var/log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
edit. Could you too try this:

mikshaw:
When I temporarily changed permissions of /var/log (not something I wanted to do), it got further but then failed trying to open the VT. The resulting log file was created by tc:staff.
I looked at your other post, and it seems like it could work. Although the file itself is suid, it does not currently run as root.
My present workaround is to run it from .xsession with "sudo /usr/local/bin/Xorg...". I'm not sure if this is a bad idea, but it seems to work. Xorg itself runs as root, and X apps run as tc.
Unfortunately one of the reasons why I wanted to get Xorg+nvidia running is so I could play Unreal Tournament in TC (more ram available than in Debian), but apparently it is not compatible with something in TC...I messed around with it for a long time and couldn't get it going at more than about 0.05 fps. UT2004 seems to be compatible, but my machine is not powerful enough to enjoy it.
But on the plus side, MPlayer will run fullscreen, Blender runs much more smoothly , and hopefully I'll be able to get my wacom working in TC one of these days.
^thehatsrule^:
I've ran into (all of) these problems before when building XOrg on DSL but never found the cause. It had these errors when I had the install dir symlinked to my root fs, but worked fine when loaded as an (uci) extension.
