I was installing using this page as a guideline, and I got hung up Here.

I am new to xserverage in linux, all my experience has been command line to date.


Here is the error message:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[mythtv@localhost mythtv]$ mythtvsetup
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

mythtvsetup: cannot connect to X server :0.0
[Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): unexpected signal 2.
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /root/.xauthh45DRa

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need to do this as the mythtv user, for all the permissions to work properly. Do I need to close out the current xsession, before invoking this? it works fine as root, but mythtv is broken at that point.
