Hi OK another issue trying to get X going on these boxes. It seems to be a HP issue but if anyone knows a solution that would be great. I am using the iLo interface and the hpmouse-1.1.0-73.noarch.rpm driver. As root i can startx and all is well, however when starting X as the oracle user it fails with the following error Exec fail for command "/opt/hp/hpmouse/hpmouse-helper" Permission Denied This is indeed only accessible by root it seems so does anyone know how non root users are supposed to use the mouse on HP boxes? thanks

I've never needed any extra mouse driver to be able to use X under iLO.
