I've had this problem in the past. When you go through the config program you must say yes to the symbolic links question. If not then there is no link to the server and it won't run. This is also documented in Greg Lehays book, The Complete FreeBSD. I hope I was able to be of help. ----- Original Message ----- From: <goldtech@worldpost.com> To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 6:25 PM Subject: xwrapper : x won't start as non-root > I think I'm near getting X to run as a user. > It will run as root but not as user. > xwrapper is installed. > I think It's a matter of having to correct symbolic links (?). > If you need more info to help me let me know > and I'll find out.
