3rd attempt to get this posted because of afore-mentioned problems...

	A few days ago my RedHat 6.1 machine locked up and required a hard reset. 
Now I cannot start X on it as any user other than root. When the machine came 
back it checked out clean so I don't know why its busted. The error message I 
get says something about not being authorized and something about "perhaps I 
don't own the console". I've tried to figure out where the problem is with no 
luck but I must admit that X security stuff leaves me confused. I blew away 
all the .X* and .x* files in my user directory to no avail. Any ideas on what 
to try next would be appreciated.

	thanx & later,
