Since I last rebuild XFree86 I am unable to run startx unless I am logged in as 'root'. How do I fix this? I get the following error: XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release date: January 8 2000 yadda, yadda, yadda Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions. You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm We strongly advise against making the server SUID root. X connction to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) Thanks, lane To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
