Hey all, I've run into this before and found a solution but would like to try another way.... I have configured X and can run it as root, but if I'm a different user (in wheel even) I can't. I'll paste my XFree86.0.log at the end. I'm sure this is normal since the error says X has to be suid root. However I don't know how to set this up manually and would like to know. Previously I have solved this by simply going through the install process again and making sure I configure X during the initial install instead of a post-configure. So my question is, how do I configure this? I will gladly RTFM if someone has one. ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- Only fools have all the answers. ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
