I just installed freebsd = 4.4, I love the new installation options. However, one problem that I am having is that I can’t start = X Windows using a user’s login name other than root. I have put this user in group = wheel and when I type ‘startx’ it gives me a bunch of stuff, just the = loading info and then the 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 startongly advice against = making the server SUID root!”

Which it’s not. Any = ideas?
