only root can log in to X


hey all,

i got my debian sid system running well with only one small problem...

only root can log into x through kdm!

if a user tries to log in, kdm basically restarts itself.

i'm pretty new to linux, and when it comes to x problems i'm extremely new.

help! what can i do???

thanx, spiderworm
