Now as the root user: make install && mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d && cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles << "EOF" /tmp/.ICE-unix dir 1777 root root /tmp/.X11-unix dir 1777 root root EOF Command Explanations --enable-install-setuid: The Xorg binary must run as the root user. This switch ensures that the binary is installed setuid when make is run by an unprivileged user. cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles...: This command creates the /tmp/.ICE-unix and /tmp/.X11-unix directories at startup, and ensures that the permissions and ownership are correct as required by the server.
