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 anybody 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.
