    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

    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

    X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
