Hi, there,

When I log in using my user name, type "startx", the X-window works fine.

But if I log in a root, and copy the XF86Config file to /etc/X11/, then run "startx", I can only see the "X" cursor, the background becomes black.

It happens on RedHat 8.0.

What may be wrong?

Thanks ahead!

Michael
