next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I recently updated all my installed ports with pkgdb (or was it portupgrade? I don't recall now) and now I can only start X as root. I know the problem, it's shown below, but I don't know how to fix it. Can someone please bring me up to snuff on setting this suid root (I still don't know what that actually means, where's a good page that's explains it?). --------------- XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 2 June 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
