6 Xorg.wrap - Xorg X server binary wrapper
7
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 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.
18
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 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 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 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.
