Bug#802327: xserver-xorg-core: (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

[Julien Cristau <julien@cristau.org>]

Gdm now starts X as the user, I guess lightdm starts it as root.

Cheers,
Julien

 Since a new Xorg transitioned into Testing today, X flat out fails to launch.

 $ ls -al /dev/fb0
 crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 loka  19  2015 /dev/fb0

 $ ls -al /dev/cpu/0/msr
 crw------- 1 root root 202, 0 loka  19  2015 /dev/cpu/0/msr

 If the geode driver requires running X as root, it should depend on the
 new xserver-xorg-legacy package.

lightdm launches fine as-is with the Geode driver.  Only gdm3 seems
to
require that special wrapper to launch on Geode.
