As a normal user on both machines I get the exact same behavior. In
response to the other post, I only left out the :0 when I typed it. In
the commands I was actually using it. 

Any other suggestions? I don't see anything in Xorg.0.log. Maybe I
should install and run ethereal and make sure it's even trying?

Thanks,
James
