Xorg.wrap(1)		     General Commands Manual		    Xorg.wrap(1)

NAME
     Xorg.wrap - Xorg X server binary wrapper

DESCRIPTION
     The  Xorg	X server may need root rights to function properly. To start the
     Xorg X server with these rights your system is using a  suid  root  wrapper
     installed	as  /usr/local/libexec/Xorg.wrap  which  will execute the real X
     server which is installed as /usr/local/libexec/Xorg.

     By default Xorg.wrap will autodetect if root rights are necessary,  and  if
     not it will drop its elevated rights before starting the real X server.  By
     default  Xorg.wrap  will  only allow executing the real X server from login
     sessions on a physical console.

CONFIG FILE
     Xorg.wrap's  default  behavior  can  be  overridden   from   the	/usr/lo-
     cal/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config  config file. Lines starting with a # in Xwrap-
     per.config are considered comments and will be ignored. Any other non empty
     lines must take the form of key = value.

     allowed_users = rootonly|console|anybody
	     Specify which users may start the X server through the wrapper. Use
	     rootonly to only allow root, use console to only allow users logged
	     into a physical console, and use anybody to allow anybody.  The de-
	     fault is console.

     needs_root_rights = yes|no|auto
	     Configure if the wrapper should drop its elevated (root) rights be-
	     fore starting the X server. Use yes to force execution as root,  no
	     to  force	execution  with all suid rights dropped, and auto to let
	     the wrapper auto-detect. The default is auto.

     When auto-detecting the wrapper will drop rights if kms graphics are avail-
     able and not drop them if no kms graphics are detected.  If  a  system  has
     multiple  graphics  cards	and  some are not kms capable auto-detection may
     fail, in this case manual configuration should be used.
