I ran startx.

I am in /home/mikef/gentoo - that is the $PREFIX directory.

The error I get is

Only console users are allowed to run the X server

See here:

mikef@fart:~/gentoo$ startx

/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console
mikef@fart:~/gentoo$

Suggestions on what do here are appreciated.

Regards

MF
