CDE and user "daemon" problem

[Alessandro Pilati]

I have this error when I try to start CDE ( dtlogin starts itself X):

Fatal server error:
no screens found

But if I assign to user "daemon" the UID 0, the CDE goes up correctly.

Can you help me to understand the cause of this problem? ( the assignment of UID 0 to daemon is a temporary workaround I would be happy to avoid... )

Thank you all

Here it is the dr_dt output ( but consider that this output is not properly affordable, for example if I change permission to a file checked to have incorrect permission, then the dr_dt says that I must change again to the previously setting )

Welcome to dr_dt. I will examine your system to determine if HP CDE
can function properly. If I find problems or concerns, or just want
to supply some information, I will issue INFO/WARNING/ERROR statements.
I will not make any changes myself, but might suggest that you change
something. If you are not sure if a particular change should be made,
check with your system administrator.

Here's to your health!
