From 17830918f1bebf3696c6660f602de84d3efeb1ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:50:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fedora hack: Make the suid-root wrapper start the server with root rights Do NOT upstream. Since most display managers are not ready yet to start Xorg in way which will keep it working without root-rights, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/XorgWithoutRootRights Just keep starting X as root for now, but do it through the wrapper, by overriding the needs_root_rights = -1 (auto) default and setting it to 1. We set a special environment variable when starting X in a way where root rights are not needed (from gdm and startx) and keep the upstream needs_root_rights = -1 (auto) default in that case.
