    Cannot start X under any users other than root

    I installed knoppix 3.3 using the knx-hdinstall command. This worked flawlessly and have been running the kne3 desktop with no problems as root. However, when I login as a different user, from the X login screen, it just comes back to the X login screen. I can login to a user in terminal mode no problem, but, when I run X I get two errors:
    1) No space left in the user's home directory.
    2) Don't have permission to run the X server.

    I have tried deleteing and adding new users but nothing works. I am at the point where maybe I should just re-install knoppix?
    Anyone have any ideas.
    Thanks

    To allow users other than root start x,add "Console" to /etc/X11/XServer.
    This means users logged in at the console may start x.

    Will this allow me to change users by logging in and out under kde?
