Hi!
Everybody,

i had installed X windows in 4.2Release FreeBSD, when i use startx command as
root user my X server works,
but when i use startx command as normal user it fails to start saying


                      Fatal server error:
                      xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root


when i see log file in /var/log it gives shows same error. i have changed
permissions of /var/log/XFree86.0.log
becuase it had root ownership. pl help me on this topic since i want normal
users to use X windows


Thanks in advance
bye
prasad
