Very Computer

i installed a new graphics card this morning then  installed a new
xserver as well, XF86_Mach64, for an All-In-Wonder Pro (3D Rage Pro
chipset). now, when I attempt to startx as any user other than root, I
get the following message:

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!

anyone have any ideas? everything was working fine until this morning.
my old graphics card was a number nine imagine 128.

thanks,

wil

If you aren't on the direct network, and not worried about security
concerns..
then you can probably just do this from
a root account:  chmod u+s XF86_Mach64

It should work after that.
