Hi all,
I was able to get Xfree86 4.1 setup with KDE as the winmanager as root. I
start the x server using the startx command. Unfortunately, none of the
users can start the x server because of permission problems. I.e., the
XFree86.0.log looks like:
XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.
I realize that the issue is described above, but I don't know what to do to
solve the permissions problem so that I don't open up a huge security hole.
TIA,
SF
