As root I can start X-windows with startx,
but as a user I get this message:
xauth: timeout in locking authority file ...

This is on FreeBSD 4.9 with XFree86-3.3.6,
Xfree86-4.x won't run with my graphics card.

I installed wrapper-1.0.3 from packages, how 
do you configure and run it?  Is this the 
right wrapper for Xfree86-3.3.6? 

How can users start X-windows?

Thanks,
Jeff Sandys
