Only root can use X, while normal users can't (FreeBSD 6.2 with Xorg-7.2).

Exactly what the title says, if I start up X in root, all is fine. However if I start up X via a normal user, it'll just exit with:

waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing

The Xorg logs don't give out any error messages at all.

I installed FreeBSD initially without Xorg so I can install Xorg-7.2 without having to worry updating old config files.

How did you install xorg exactly?

A helpful user (Scott R.) has put together instructions for a fresh install here: http://forums.bsdnexus.com/viewtopic.php?id=1541

I haven't tried it via fresh install, but I've seen feedback from others that it works.

Good luck.
