Subject:   Xserver problem when logged on as user, no problem as root
Message-ID:  <200201041755427.SM01904@there>

I recently updated all my installed ports with pkgdb (or was it portupgrade? 
I don't recall now) and now I can only start X as root. I know the problem, 
it's shown below, but I don't know how to fix it. Can someone please bring me 
up to snuff on setting this suid root (I still don't know what that actually 
means, where's a good page that's explains it?).
