Apologies if this has been discussed before and I missed it or this is due to some stupidity on my part but I just did a fresh install of 4.6.1-RC2 and told it to install X for the first time. Having installed X and configured it, when I tried to run X as a normal user it died telling me that : -- start paste -- (WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Permission denied) linear framebuffer access unavailable Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root -- end paste -- Was this a mistake made when installing X?
