Re: xinit: xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions

 I have problems with my startx script,see my other email
 when I invoke startx, it seems to 'freeze' for a minute or so,then starts.
 Before fixing the startx issue (I think startx has been overwritten
 by the fluxconf-XFree86-libraries-4.3.0 installation),
 I tested xinit after setting the root setuid bit of the X server 
 (which on my machine points to XF86_SVGA).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!.
 So,with the setuid bit set,xinit works,but the elegant solution
 would be to use Xwrapper.How can I use Xwrapper ?
 Does it accept a server name to execute ?

Install the /usr/ports/x11/wrapper port.  It replaces the X link in
/usr/X11R6/bin.  If you've really corrupted your startx script, you
may need to fit that up (there are several approaches), but I doubt
that will be an actual problem.

Hi,

I just installed a port (fluxconf).That port installed Xfree86 Libraries 4.3.0.
Since then,when I invoke xinit, it exits with the error
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions
I include the output of 'uname -a' and 
the brief output from xinit for the problem

Thank you very much
Bruno

You should be starting X via the 'startx' command if you're not using 
runlevel 5/[xgk]dm.  Try that and see if the same problem persists.
