Flash application will not start with different user then root  
Hi everybody,

I am currently running my flash application by using /bin/flash /path/to/my/application & under my root account. This 
works fine. 

However, I now want to run my application under another non-root user called joe. So I try to start the application by 
doing /bin/on -u joe /bin/flash /path/to/my/application &.

This does not work, flash returns the following:
emerg: hmip-gf: gf_dev_attach(NULL) failed: 6   (player:1)
emerg: framebuffer alloc (1024X768) failed      (player:1)

I've added user joe to the display group in /etc/groups. However, this is seems not sufficient.

What am I missing here?

Many thanks in advance!
