NAME

   Xorg.wrap - Xorg X server binary wrapper

DESCRIPTION

   The Xorg X server may need root rights to function properly. To start the Xorg X server with these rights your system is using a suid root wrapper installed as /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap
   which will execute the real X server which is installed as /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.

   By default Xorg.wrap will autodetect if root rights are necessary, and if not it will drop its elevated rights before starting the real X server.  By default Xorg.wrap will only allow
   executing the real X server from login sessions on a physical console.

CONFIG FILE

   Xorg.wrap's  default  behavior can be overridden from the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config config file. Lines starting with a # in Xwrapper.config are considered comments and will be ignored.
   Any other non empty lines must take the form of key = value.

   allowed_users = rootonly|console|anybody
           Specify which users may start the X server through the wrapper. Use rootonly to only allow root, use console to only allow users logged into a physical console, and  use  any
           body to allow anybody.  The default is console.

   needs_root_rights = yes|no|auto
           Configure  if  the  wrapper should drop its elevated (root) rights before starting the X server. Use yes to force execution as root, no to force execution with all suid rights
           dropped, and auto to let the wrapper auto-detect. The default is auto.

   When auto-detecting the wrapper will drop rights if kms graphics are available and not drop them if no kms graphics are detected. If a system has multiple graphics cards and some  are
   not kms capable auto-detection may fail, in this case manual configuration should be used.
