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 in‐
       stalled 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	con‐
	       sole.

       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.
