[-- Attachment #1 --] Still need help Dave -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of David Loszewski Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 9:29 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: X server error, please help I just installed freebsd 4.4, I love the new installation options. However, one problem that I am having is that I can't start X Windows using a user's login name other than root. I have put this user in group wheel and when I type 'startx' it gives me a bunch of stuff, just the loading info and then the error message: "Fatal server error: xF86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions. You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm. We startongly advice against making the server SUID root!" Which it's not. Any ideas?
