I've recently installed the latest XFREE86 server. I think I've finally
have everything installed with two problems left.
Everything was installed with only root permissions so the server was
working fine in root, but not in my user account. So I "chmod -R 755 *" in
the /usr/X11R6 directory. I think I had my user account working, briefly
and mucked around. Now I get an error:
[BEGIN ERROR]
XFree86 Version 3.3.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: November 16 1998
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see
http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.0.35 i686 [ELF]
Configured drivers:
SVGA: server for SVGA graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0):
NV1, STG2000, RIVA128, RIVATNT, ET4000, ET4000W32, ET4000W32i,
ET4000W32i_rev_b, ET4000W32i_rev_c, ET4000W32p,
[...LONG LIST...]
ct64300, mediagx, V1000, V2x00, p9100, spc8110, generic
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions
You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm.
We strongly advise against making the server SUID root!
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
[END ERROR]
It seams I screwed up a permissions somewhere. Incidentally, when
installing such things, what permissions do you folks set the installation
to? Was "chmod -R 755 *" the wrong approach?
The other problem is what the default server is. I want to use the
accelerated server at 1280x1024 resolution, but I can't find out how to do
that. I'm guessing it's using the VGA server at a very large resolution?
But I have /usr/X11R6/X -> XFREE86_SVGA for my S3 ViRGE/VX card. ctrl-alt-+
doesn't do anything either.
Thanks for everyone's help. It seams I didn't understand my initial X setup
as I thought I did.
