=D7 hello, =D7 i am still pretty new to the FreeBSD world, and the X world,=20 =D7 and, yes, also the WindowMaker world. if my question sounds=20 =D7 a little simplistic, please bear with me. anyway, i recently=20 =D7 installed FreeBSD 4.0, with XFree86-4.0,=20 =D7 XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3, and windowmaker-0.61.1. Whenever i=20 =D7 try to startx, it fails with the following error message: =D7=20 =D7 Fatal server error: =D7 xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions =D7 You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm. =D7 We strongly advise against making the server SUID root! =D7=20 =D7 now, this is obviosly some sort of permissions error, as i=20 =D7 can startx with sudo and as root, but not as any other user=20 =D7 on my box. i've tried using Xwrapper, and xdm, but to no=20 =D7 avail. what am i doing wrong? thanx in advance for your help. =D7=20 =D7 also, a side note, what is the difference between=20 =D7 windowmaker-0.61.1 and windowmaker-i18n-0.61.1? what are the=20 =D7 i18n extensions? thanx again. =D7=20 =D7 -=3Df=3D-=20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
