I've found with Xfree86 version 4. that is found in FreeBSD 4.6 you have to install a package called wrapper to allow none root users to startx. In older versions you just had to enable symbolic links in the xf86config software. ----- Original Message ----- From: "maximilian sichart" <maximilian@sichart.org> To: "freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org" <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2002 9:50 AM Subject: x as normal user > i can start x as root, > but when trying it as normal user i get this output: > # > > > Fatal server error: > Cannot open log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" > When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send > the full server output, not just the last messages. > Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org. > giving up. > xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X > server > xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. > > > # > so, whats wrong?? > maximilian > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
