ok I'm not understanding why you showed this output..
$ ps ax | grep Xorg
9039 tty3 Sl 0:01 /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -nolisten tcp :0 vt3 -keeptty -auth /tmp/serverauth.pQqB7qNoGc
then this...
ls: cannot access '/tmp/serverauth*': No such file or directory
you've given some good info, so maybe someone else will be able to help.

Excuse me, the latter command was launched in Xorg mistakenly run using GDM.

Output from Xorg running without gdm:

Code: Select all

ls -l ~/.Xauth* /tmp/xauth* /tmp/serverauth*
-rw------- 1 maketopsite maketopsite 204 Oct 19 15:10 /home/maketopsite/.Xauthority
-rw------- 1 maketopsite maketopsite  52 Oct 19 15:10 /tmp/serverauth.bf6adH8Tdp
ls: cannot access /tmp/xauth*: No such file or directory
