I have just put on a clean 4.2-stable and freebsd 4 installation onto a machine
and am unable to start X via the startx command as an ordinary user. I get
the following error
(==) ModulePath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
(WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Permission denied)
linear framebuffer access unavailable
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root
The kerne security level is set to -1. I have not had this problem on a
machine I have upgraded to the same configuration. Any ideas?
Chris
