Dear maintainer,

Last year I suggested adding libpam-systemd as a Recommends in xserver-xorg-core or xinit. That suggestion was applied at that time. 

The problem is also solved by installing xserver-xorg-legacy and e.g. configuring /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config like it is shown below for a radeon card. Please, consider adding this package to the Recommends as an alternative to libpam-systemd.

 ; cat /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
 needs_root_rights = yes

My suggestion would be xserver-xorg-core Recommends: libpam-systemd | xserver-xorg-legacy.

Kind regards,

Ricardo
