setuid(root)

[Joseph Miller]

I am trying to use setuid() to avoid having to run my svgalib program as root.  In my 
simple minded way, I logged on as root, did an id; and saw that my uid was 0 (number 
0).  In the main program, I included #include <unistd.h>, and then the command 
setuid(0);  When I ran the program as a mere mortal, "insuficient IO priviledges" 
error occured again.

What am I missing?  Thanks in advance.
