Dear Sir:

I meet a problem with FreeBSD 4.2-Release.

Originally I used it well. The X windows system=20
worked well with KDE, GNOME. But after I installed=20
XFree86-4 I cannot start X window again. The procedure=20
are following:=20

First I install XFree86-4:=20
#pkg_add XFree86-4.0.1_8.tgz=20

After it finished I got following message:=20
******************************************=20
To improve security, the X server is installed without=20
a SUID bit. This is suitable for use with xdm, but not=20
with a startx script. If you need to use a startx script,=20
install the x11/wrapper package.
******************************************=20

Then I did:
#pkg_add wrapper-1.0_1.tgz=20

After it finished I returned to the shell.

From here I cannot start X window again!!!=20
#startx=20

I got the forllowing message as in file XFree86.0.log.
