When you installed XFree86-4 you should have seen this message: ************************************************************************ * To improve security, the X server is installed without an SUID bit. * * This is suitable for use with xdm, but not with a startx script. * * If you need to use a startx script, install the x11/wrapper package. * ************************************************************************ * If XFree86-4 is not a basic part of your operating system, add the * * following line to /etc/make.conf: XFREE86_VERSION=4 * ************************************************************************ I guess it clear from here how to tell the system that you are using XFree86-4.
