Question a very annoying problem
hi

i got fbsd here,when i try to start my X server as an user I got hte following error.

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions
You should be usig Xwrapper to start the server or xdm.
We strongly advise against making the server SUID root!

But if i start the x server as root, i got no problem.

how can i solve this problem?

tnx for your reaction.
greetings

You need to install the wrapper under /usr/ports/x11/wrapper.

If you have never installed from the ports before, you can do this as root:

Code:
cd /usr/ports/x11/wrapper
make all
make install
Then non-root users will be able to fire up X Window.

There is another way to start the X Server:
Code:
file:/etc/ttys:
ttyv7   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
#ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm -nodaemon"  xterm   off secure
ttyv8  "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure
