From 95f648452f4bd023f4232cef7b791111703d5062 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Earnestly Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2017 21:15:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] README: mention the Xorg.wrap bypass Xorg.wrap default system of autodetection of root rights requirement is wrong in every case I've seen it used. The result is the Xorg server runs as the root user when it is not necessary. The main autodetection failure case is when the proprietary nvidia drivers are used, incorrectly assuming Xorg needs to be run as root. --- README | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README b/README index ba87c56..e1d9770 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -24,6 +24,8 @@ INTRODUCTION * The Xorg server uses the -noreset flag. + * /usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg is used directly, bypassing Xorg.wrap. + * The Xorg server logs are written to $XDG_DATA_HOME/sx/$DISPLAY instead of Xorg.$DISPLAY.log @@ -31,7 +33,7 @@ INTRODUCTION used instead of $HOME/.Xauthority * Very little proxy error checking is used preferring instead to let each - tool used speak for itself. + tool speak for itself. * None of the typical /etc/X11/xinit infrastructure is directly used.
