A note for other gentoo users who may need a suid Xorg installed (to use
some proprietary drivers for example), you should be able to use the
suid binary in /usr/bin/Xorg just by making it world readable.

The command you used ("xpra start ssh:...") is a remote start command
which is run from the client to start a remote server and connect to it.
Maybe you just wanted to run "xpra start" instead?
Or you can run that same command but from your client.

PS: disabling lz4 is not recommended. I wouldn't bother enabling x265
either - it is too slow.
