Most (all?) other DMs just hand over the existing :0 server and of course when using startx, there's nothing that could take another X11 server anyway - so your session runs on :0 there as well.
GDM is gone. I installed LightDM, I'm happy with it. Now I just have to teach the gnome-calender to use the correct time format. There is always something. Thank you again for your help.
The 565 drivers are jank garbage, Kodi screws up playback, games mess up. Just terrible.
I can empathize. These drivers also drive me crazy. But there is still hope. In the meantime I have kicked out GNOME after 25 years of love-hate relationship. I'll end up with a simple VT100 terminal again. Maybe that's the only real thing.
