Yes. But Xwrapper SHOULD NOT be used to launch 4.0.1 X server. Not because
XFree developers say so (they do), but because Xwrapper is the cause of
REAL troubles in XFree 4.0.1. It interferes with the way X server does
hardware probing. This results in, for example, incorrect DPI settings,
different on each restart. (thus the subject line)
Instead, XFree86 executable should be pamified and given suid root. It
encourages you to do so:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root
