Funny, stupid, whatever... I have this error on one of my machines and cannot figure out what the matter is.
It's a standard installation with most recent packages, Xorg.wrap is in place all right (part of the package).
What else?... Package xorg-server is built with SUID=on.
The funny thing is, even using Xorg.wrap config with explicit directive to start X with root privs for any user logged in console doesn't change that a bit.
I normally use startx to start X from console (regular user) on my machines. My .xinitrc says (among other things): exec fvwm.
Works fine on all my machines except this one.
What could be the matter?
I had to make /usr/local/bin/Xorg suid root as a temporary solution. But I'd rather use the standard way of doing it.

Code:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 May 5 16:48 /usr/local/bin/X -> Xorg.wrap
