I have a Mandrake 10 server running ssh and x, on my windows xp box, I 
am running putty with x11 forwarding on.  However, I login fine but when 
I launch x as a normal user I get :

[jebba at localhost jebba]$ startx
Authentication failed - cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?xinit:  Server error.


But, when I log in as root, and start x.  It runs on the server.

Hopefully this makes sense?  I am still very new to linux.  What I'm a 
doing wrong?
