× hello, × i am still pretty new to the FreeBSD world, and the X world, × and, yes, also the WindowMaker world. if my question sounds × a little simplistic, please bear with me. anyway, i recently × installed FreeBSD 4.0, with XFree86-4.0, × XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3, and windowmaker-0.61.1. Whenever i × try to startx, it fails with the following error message: × × 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! × × now, this is obviosly some sort of permissions error, as i × can startx with sudo and as root, but not as any other user × on my box. i've tried using Xwrapper, and xdm, but to no × avail. what am i doing wrong? thanx in advance for your help. × × also, a side note, what is the difference between × windowmaker-0.61.1 and windowmaker-i18n-0.61.1? what are the × i18n extensions? thanx again. × × -=f=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
