Subject: Re: [ISSUE] [CLOSED] xorg-server: default Xwrapper.config forces Xorg to always run as root
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2021 02:57:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210130015746.ogQw84OpO78kleCn9nFaG3miS_WsIzusW9jbCg04rL8@z> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <gh-mailinglist-notifications-41a7ca26-5023-4802-975b-f1789d68868e-void-packages-13754@inbox.vuxu.org>

Closed issue by r00tman on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/13754

Description:
Is there a reason we keep `needs_root_rights = yes` in `/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config`, when we can change it to `needs_root_right = auto`? The latter would allow Xorg.wrap to drop root privileges if it detects that KMS is supported.

<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System

* xuname:  
  Void 5.1.21_1 x86_64-musl GenuineIntel uptodate rF
* package:  
  xorg-server-1.20.5_1

### Expected behavior
Xorg.wrap drops root privileges if all cards support KMS

### Actual behavior
Xorg always runs as root.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Use default Xwrapper.config
