I am still unable to get X to run after installing XFree86 Version 4.2 What's odd here is that I can get it to run under root just fine but not under any users. I get the following when I try to do so: Fatal Server Error: 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! x connection to:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) Can anyone tell me how I should procede in order to get this fixed? I've looked through a ton of documentation and still cannot find a clear solution to this problem.
