I can start XFree86 4.0.1 (and kde2) just fine as root, but received the
following error as a normal user:

Fatal server error:
Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log"

I am running 4.2-Beta (cvsup as of Thursday 9 November).  The XFree86-4 and
kde2 ports are installed.  My graphics card is the i810.

The only problem I see running as root is I cannot logout of KDE.  To exit I
use control-alt-backspace.  Other than that, the system runs just fine.

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Thanks,
MikeC
