startx not for normal user?

["Remco van 't Veer" <rwvtveer@xs4all.nl>]

Hi, 

I just installed Debian on a fresh workstation but only root can open
a X session.  First I tried startx using a normal user but it
complains:

  xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions.
  You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm.
  We strongly advice against make the server SUID!

I am unable to find Xwrapper and xdm doesn't let me login.  Xdm
restarts immediately after I type my password.  The logfile xdm.log
reads:

  AUDIT: Mon Sep 3 16:00:00 2001: 599 X: client 2 rejected from local host
    Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1
  Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
  ..

I removed the .Xauthority file, but that does not help.  Does anybody
know how I can fix this?

TIA,
Remco
