X server error following FAQ for Xfbdev in 2.4.1, 2.5.0 RC2
(1/1)
3rail:
Hi,
I've successfully used the procedure outlined in http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#framebuffer before in the older builds (pre-2.4) but can't seem to get it to work in current builds.
My procedure:
1. boot TC 2.4.1/2.5.0rc2 to the gui, pre-Xfbdev
2. use appbrowser to install Xfbdev.tgz (using the install button, installs fine)
3. modify my extlinux.conf to include vga=792 and text
4. reboot the machine
5. framebuffer gets properly initialized, proceeds to boot into text mode
6. type 'xsetup.sh', it runs, I choose my mouse type hit ok, it exits
7. type 'startx' as outlined in the FAQ
Result:
--- Code: ---Fatal server error:
LinuxInit: Server must be suid root
--- End code ---
Any suggestions besides sudo startx (which produces a desktop but I can't choose logout to save settings because there's no reaction to selecting logout)?
Thanks!

Juanito:
you could try ""sudo chmod u+s"?

I ran tce-update, grabbed the new Xfbdev.tgz and Xlibs_support.tczl, ran through the procedure outlined in the FAQ and it works great again.
Thank you for the fix.
