Re: Errors during start of Xorg on 3.9
Antoine, thanks, quite right.. I saw the memo and misread it - the prompt defaults to [no] now. It may be worthwhile double checking the Aperture setting though. -Original Message- From: Antoine Jacoutot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 March 2006 15:26 To: Andrew Smith Cc: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: Errors during start of Xorg on 3.9 Selon Andrew Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > machdep.allowaperture.

Re: Errors during start of Xorg on 3.9
You should be using the wrapper script called xorgconfig This should work run as root and double check the /etc/sysctl.conf value machdep.allowaperture. Make sure that is set to 2, this no longer gets set to 2 by answering yes to running X - this is a deliberate decision in 3.9 and has been left out of the scripts to raise awareness of the security issues associated (see man xf86) Search back through the archives and you will see Theo's thoughts about it. -Andy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Swen Simon Sent: 29 March 2006 11:57 To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Errors during start of Xorg on 3.9 (I was redirected to misc@ from an user, thanks for the hint :) Greetings!

Hints or solutions are welcome! Thanks. Provided that the message marked 'Huh?' is correct, you are trying to run X as a non-root user. That doesn't work. (Or, to be more precise, the full windowing stuff should always run as a non-root user, but only root can start the X server. Normal users use xdm/kdm/... or startx.) Joachim

Did you answer "yes" to the "do you want to run X" question during install? If not, edit /etc/sysctl.conf (machdep.allowaperture=2) and reboot.
