Description dima 2001-01-22 00:20:00 UTC 
It seems that for some reason a lot of people have been having
problems running X because they start it as a non-root user.  Most
probably, this is due to the general public starting to upgrade to
XFree86 4, which doesn't install its servers setuid to root.

The attached patch adds an FAQ entry describing the need to either use
xdm or Xwrapper if one wishes to run X as a regular user; which one
should.

Fix: Apply the following patch to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.
How-To-Repeat: 
Read -questions.
