I installed the fbsd 4.5 rci-cdboot.iso
& everything was running fine. The only
thing that I can think I did before the
xwindows started messing up was to install
gimp. Now, when in xwindows as root, I
can't access the terminal & users can't
use xwindows at all. After hitting startx
as user, following message displays:
xf86OpenConsole: server must be running
with root permissions. You should be using
Xwrapper to start the server or xdm.
We strongly advise against making the
server SUID root.
Any advise as to where & what to read &
check on greatly appreciated. Hate to
wipe out the install. Would much rather
fix it & learn from it. Thanks.
