- <para>Before, I was able to run &xorg; as a regular user.

- <answer>
- <para>All X servers need to be run as
- <username>root</username> in order to get direct access to
- your video hardware.</para>
-
- <para>There are two ways to be able to use &xorg;
- as a regular user. The first is to use
- <command>xdm</command> or another display manager (e.g.,
- <command>kdm</command>); the second is to use the
- <command>Xwrapper</command>.</para>
-
- <para><command>xdm</command> is a daemon that handles
- graphical logins. It is usually started at boot time, and is
- responsible for authenticating users and starting their
- sessions; it is essentially the graphical counterpart of
- &man.getty.8; and &man.login.1;. For more information on
- <command>xdm</command> see <ulink
- url="http://www.x.org/wiki/UserDocumentation">the &xorg; documentation</ulink>,
- and the <link
- linkend="xdm-boot">the FAQ entry</link> on it.</para>
-
- <para><command>Xwrapper</command> is the X server wrapper; it
- is a small utility to enable one to manually run an X server
- while maintaining reasonable safety. It performs some
- sanity checks on the command line arguments given, and if
- they pass, runs the appropriate X server. If you do not
- want to run a display manager for whatever reason, this is
- for you. If you have installed the complete Ports
- Collection, you can find the port in <filename
- role="package">x11/wrapper</filename>.</para>
