Right.. Looks like there's no display manager installed. Depending on your
favorite environment, could you install one of sddm, lxdm or gdm ?
On my side, I used sddm.

This can be set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in some cases (e.g. for nvidia

Xorg. xorg.conf can usually be removed (except with nvidia driver).
