Running/installing XFree86



Hi All:

I recently installed RH Linux with XFree86-3.3.  I then had to 
install modified components from S.u.S.E. to handle my STB Velocity 
128 video card.  All of this seemed to work successfully and I was
able to run X from the root account using the startx script.

However, when I try to run X from any other user account, I am
told that the server needs to have root permissions and I should
use Xwrapper or xdm.  Is there an easy way to get X to run with
root process id when logged in as a regular user?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Brian
