PAM authentication failed,help [4]

Hi, I can start the kde in the Xstart through the ssh protocol. But i can successfully start kde only by root! when i want to run startx by normal user, i get the error:

-begin-----------------

PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?

who can tell me how to run kde/gnome by normal usr?
thanks!

Try to run "startkde", not "startx". The "startx" command shouldn't be executed in remote terminals.

thank u very much, startkde can run successfully!

but, how to run startx for open the Gnome or other wm?

thanks!!!!

Try to run 'gnome-session' for gnome and 'Xsession' for CDE.

thanks!!

i will find out the command of fvwm by myself. :)
