XFree86-xwrapper is needed by XFree86-3.3.2-5. either you've done > this care must be taken that with the new X release > the X server is not running with the suid bit > for security reason, instead for a normal user to start X > it has to be installed the x-server-wrapper pkg > (xserver-wrapper-1.1-1.rpm): > this should let your users to launch X via startx, xinit, etc... > (note that as root you wouldn't notify this change), > also make sure that /etc/X11/X is a symbolic link to your X server: > this works for me with the same release of X you have. > > so install xserver-wrapper, > try to configure your /etc/X11/XF86Config file > (note the case of letters... this is not the xf86config program!) > then launch X as root, > but if X doesn't start as root you've problems with the XF86Config: > check it. > > if all is okay, logout and login as a normal user > and try again to launch X, if xserver-wrapper is okay, you're done. > > If not, you may have some missing symbolic links, > these are mine's (i use the XF86_SVGA server): > > $ ls -al /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2711068 Mar 5 20:01 > /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA > > $ ls -al /usr/X11R6/bin/xserver-wrapper > -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 4976 Feb 4 15:18 > /usr/X11R6/bin/xserver-wrapper > (be care of the suid bit here) > > $ ls -al /etc/X11/X > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 23 12:07 /etc/X11/X -> > /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA > > $ ls -al /usr/X11R6/bin/X > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Apr 23 11:46 /usr/X11R6/bin/X > -> xserver-wrapper > > p.s. someone has problems again: to force X started by any user > you may add the suid bit directly to the server as in: > $ chmod +s /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA > BUT THIS IS A SECURITY HOLE! --> so i don't recommend this! > > instead you could decide to overcome the console login prompt and > start X just after the boot using the xdm script > (that no need to use the xserver-wrapper facility, > at booting time it's ran by root, not by users) > > for this you've to change the defaul runlevel in /etc/inittab: > look for a line like this: > > id:3:initdefault: > > and change it as in: > > id:5:initdefault: > > BUT FIRST MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF ALL YOUR CONFIGURATION FILES! > (/etc/X11/XF86Config, /etc/inittab, etc... > so you don't panic if something go wrong, mistyping, etc... ) > > hope this helps > > à bientot > > ciao fede > > -- > > Semper Voster > > -------------------------------------------- > | | > | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > | | > | Via W.
