Bug#568074: Xfbdev: LinuxInit: Server must be suid root

["Trent W. Buck" <trentbuck@gmail.com>]

Package: xserver-xfbdev
Version: 2:1.7.4-2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/Xfbdev

This program appears to get the wrong mode by default:

    $ xinit -- /usr/bin/Xfbdev
    Fatal server error:
    LinuxInit: Server must be suid root

    ^C
    giving up.
    xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server
    xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  unexpected signal 2.
    $ ls -l /usr/bin/Xfbdev
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1726332 2010-01-21 10:01 /usr/bin/Xfbdev

If I fix that, it starts up.  Keyboard input didn't work, though
C-M-F1 did get me back to vt1.

    $ sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/Xfbdev
    $ ls -l /usr/bin/Xfbdev
    -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 1726332 2010-01-21 10:01 /usr/bin/Xfbdev

    $ xinit -- /usr/bin/Xfbdev
