  The recommended way to run X is with the xenodm(1) display manager.
  It offers some important security benefits over the traditional
  startx(1) command.

  The Xorg binary is no longer installed setuid, so startx(1) can no
  longer be used by non-root users. The xenodm(1) display manager has
  to be used instead.

So should the faq be updated?
