I am having a problem with X and FreeBSD 4.6. It works fine as root but
when I am any other user it has a fatal error.
I get the following error when I run the command startx.
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root
In the log, it gives the following warning before the error.
(WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Permission denied)
linear framebuffer access unavailable
I am running version 4 of X with Gnome 1.4 and Sawfish.
