    I think I saw this problem listed on the XFree86 mailing lists.  If I 
remember correctly,(this may not be the case) this has something to do with 
security levels set during installation.  Again, check XFree mailing list for a
more definitive answer.

	After a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.2 on a Pentium 233Mhz system with an ATI
	Mach64 card, I was able to sucessfully start the X server from both the root
	account and my own user account.  However, when I booted the machine today,
	and I tried 'startx', I recieved the following error message:

	Server Error:
	xf86OpenConsole: KDENABIO failed (Operation not permitted)

	What can I do to remedy this problem?
