Don't have permission to run X server?

[mrblondeisback]

So I'm trying to run WoW in it's own X, because I keep hearing that it improves performance. I set up this script to do it:
#!/bin/sh

X :3 -ac & nvidia-settings --load-config-only # Launches a new X session on display 3
cd "/home/zaphodb2002/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft" # Goto WoW dir
sleep 2 # Forces the system to have a break for 2 seconds
DISPLAY=:3 WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C\:Program Files\World of Warcraft\wow.exe" -opengl # Launches WoW

But whenever I run it it tells me I don't have permission to run X. How can I give myself the appropriate permission?

I also tried running the script with a sudo, it opens a new x, but not WoW. Any help would be appreciated.

ok a few things what:~

version of ubuntu?

version of wine?

graphics card?

driver number?
(for nvidia cards type "nvidia-settings" into terminal, wait for the control panel to come up and look under "System Information" for NVIDIA Driver Version: xxx.xx)

(for ati type "amd:cccle or amdcccle" and click "Information", then look at the right hand side at the second section titled "Software" and then "Driver Version". You should see something like 8.39.4)

You need to modify the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file. Open it with a text editor, look for an entry that says “allowed_users=console” and change it to “allowed_users=anybody”. After that, you should be able to run the script normally, without using sudo.
