#88 FreeBSD 12.1 dtlogin won't start with "-daemon" arguments after xorg upgrade

[Tseng Wynn]

Before upgrade xorg-server to 1.20. I can start dtlogin both using -daemon and -nodaemon argument.
After upgrade xorg-server to 1.20. I can still start dtlogin with -nodaemon argument and no argument at all.
But when I trying to start dtlogin with -daemon argument. dtlogin just keep throwing
The X-server can not be started on display :0...

Try looking at /var/dt/Xerrors and see if there is a clue in there...

OK. Found the problem. Since Xorg 1.20. Only console users are allowed to run the X server.

So... what user does dtlogin use to start the X server?

Anyway the temporarily solution is add allowed_users=anybody to /usr/local/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config. After that I can start dtlogin with -daemon argument.
