Did you install X setuid root? If you're using xdm(1) or one of the other similar display managers that are started out of ttys(5) then X is started by a root process anyhow, and doesn't need to be setuid. If you intend to use startx(1) then X needs to be setuid for mortal users to be able to start it. To change the setting: make config in /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server and then reinstall the xorg-server port. Cheers, Matthew I don't know for sure. In /etc/make.conf is nothing written that X should be setuid root and that must be the place, or not? Anyway, I want X to be started through a tty like it worked, so I have no intention to change it now that it functions.
