Re: Starting X the old way on 1.16

After restoring the file to defaults, it works. But I would still like to have X startup on another tty (preferably tty10 and later)

From what i've seen that is no longer possible if you use xorg 1.16 & logind .
I don't know if logind can be disabled when booting with systemd, but if you boot with another PID1 then systemd logind doesn't function AT ALL.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Starting X the old way on 1.16

Yeah,

but if you boot with another PID1 then systemd logind doesn't function AT ALL.

wich is a good thing, because then Xorg simply works the old way! At least here . (without further config)

Using systemd and Xwrapper.config doesn't really work here either, but I'm really not interested in debugging this. (It seems its trying to start X as root but then it's still using systemd-logind somehow...)

So the only reliable alternatives I see are:
1) Log in on the vt you want to start X and start it from there.
2) Use another init system. (Or then as mentioned trying to disable systemd-logind, which I doubt is possible.)
