NAME

6       Xorg.wrap - Xorg X server binary wrapper
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  Xorg  X server may need root rights to function properly. To start
10       the Xorg X server with these rights your system is using  a  suid  root
11       wrapper installed as /usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap which will execute the real
12       X server which is installed as /usr/libexec/Xorg.
13
14       By default Xorg.wrap will autodetect if root rights are necessary,  and
15       if  not  it  will  drop  its elevated rights before starting the real X
16       server.  By default Xorg.wrap will only  allow  executing  the  real  X
17       server from login sessions on a physical console.

CONFIG FILE

21       Xorg.wrap's default behavior can be overridden from the /etc/X11/Xwrap‐
22       per.config config file. Lines starting with a # in Xwrapper.config  are
23       considered comments and will be ignored. Any other non empty lines must
24       take the form of key = value.
25
26       allowed_users = rootonly|console|anybody
27               Specify which users may start the X server through the wrapper.
28               Use  rootonly  to  only  allow  root, use console to only allow
29               users logged into a physical console, and use anybody to  allow
30               anybody.  The default is console.
31
32       needs_root_rights = yes|no|auto
33               Configure if the wrapper should drop its elevated (root) rights
34               before starting the X server. Use yes  to  force  execution  as
35               root,  no  to force execution with all suid rights dropped, and
36               auto to let the wrapper auto-detect. The default is auto.
37
38       When auto-detecting the wrapper will drop rights if  kms  graphics  are
39       available  and not drop them if no kms graphics are detected. If a sys‐
40       tem has multiple graphics cards and some  are  not  kms  capable  auto-
41       detection may fail, in this case manual configuration should be used.
