User can't run X via system service?
I'm trying to run a service to execute startx on startup. Startx as a command works fine when I run it as a user on the console, and runs perfectly fine if I run the service as root. However as soon as I change the user (the same user it runs fine as when I manually start it) in the service file and try to run it I get an error message saying "Only console users are allowed to run the X server". Is there some special group I need my account to be in, even though startx works manually? Or do I need to just autologin and run it as the user directly via the rc files?
