I just installed XFree6-4 It compiled and installed without errors. I tried typing "startx" which worked fine with 3.3.6 This is what I got; ----------------------------------------------------------------------- XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 1999 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) Operating System: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 [ELF] Configured drivers: Mach64: accelerated server for ATI Mach64 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0) 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! When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). ----------------------------------------------------------- Now this message is wrong on two counts - I'm using 4.2 Stable, and XFree86 is version 4 I know it's got to be something simple. X does work when fired up as root but dows not go into xfce, which is how my xinitrc file is set up; #!/bin/sh # # # Start-up stuff from ~/Desktop/Autostart (as it seems to be the new standard) # for i in `ls ${HOME}/Desktop/Autostart/`; do if test -x $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i; then $HOME/Desktop/Autostart/$i & fi done # # launch xscreensaver (if available) # xscreensaver -no-splash -lock-mode & # # And launch XFce window manager # exec xfwm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
