Hi, I have problems with my startx script and xinit. When I invoke xinit, it exits with the error "xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions" According to the xinit error,"I should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm. We strongly advise against making the server SUID root!". Must I use Xwrapper ? How can I use it (I didn't find a manual page) ? Does it accept a server name to execute ? My OS is FreeBSD 4.9-RC. I include the brief output from xinit for the problem Thank you very much Bruno bruno@ciao (/dev/ttyp0) /usr/home/bruno 2>>xinit XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: January 8 2000 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.
