You want to use the "Xwrapper" wrapper around Xamiga, afaik, instead of
the direct Xamiga. 

The server nowadays refuses to run setuid root, so you cant access 
the necessary devices.

This is explained in the INSTALL.X11 file, as of the 1.4 and 1.4.1 releases
(at least the CVS log tells so).

Any place where this is missing?
