next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I recently tryed running Xfree as a normal use and it returned with:
XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
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)
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE i386 [ELF]
Module Loader present
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Fri Feb 15 23:49:40 2002

(WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Permission denied)
linear framebuffer access unavailable
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root
What possible affects would there be to using chmod on
/dev/mem(currently at
crw-r----- 1 root kmem 2, 0 Feb 6 14:27 /dev/mem)
and what is xfOpenConsole and what would i have to do to change the suid
error?
