Re: [MiNT] XaAES and multiuser setup

[Peter Persson <pep.fishmoose@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've noticed this too. My workaround is to start XaAES using SUDO. At  
least I get the right home folder... When I need to test stuff using  
"normal" privilege, I login on a TosWin console and start the app in  
question from there.

Not nice, but atm it seems to be the only solution, since loading  
kernel modules require root access?
