Are you running on a traditional HD install? If so, does the XFree86 binary have setuid set?

I have run traditional HD install and instaled XFree86 through DSL's control panel. I didn't find "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" there, so later I installed XFree86 using "apt-get".

What's the output of:
ls -l `which XFree86`

and

ls -l /var/log/XFree86.*.log*

okay, your X server isn't suid root.. Set it with "sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/X11/XFree86"
