I am running X (compiled from the ports) on 4.3-STABLE. I have the dreaded
Intel i810 VGA (on board) on an HP Brio. My mouse is the equiv of 3-button
(middle scroll button), more like a Logitech.

After running xf86config, my X wouldn't start! It complains about some
sections.
First I got this error:

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!

I did install Xwrapper (I guess I need to configure it??)...life used to
be easy with 3.3.6 but it is said it doesn't support i810 and money is
scarce ;-)=20

Someone has posted the steps to run 4.0.3 which I don't seem to find???

TIA
