Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I guess we should consider enabling logind support in X for the next
jessie release.

This would allow us to run X without root permissions if the card is
supported by KMS. For legacy card we should also ship the
"suid-wrapper"[1] that is supposed to detect cards whether the card is
supported and act accordingly (aka not drop the root privileges).

The suid-wrapper might also deprecate the Xwrapper which is Debian
specific. It support the same option as Xwrapper (specifying which user
is allowed to run a X server) and it also contains a "needs_root_rights"
parameter in case somebody doesn't want to use logind or if the
auto-detections is not working properly.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville

Hello.

The xorg-server package version currently sitting in experimental
has enabled the logind support (on Linux), but forgot to mention
the bug report in the changelog. Closing it this way instead.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
