Package: xserver-xorg-legacy
Version: 2:1.19.0-3
Severity: important

Starting from version 2:1.19.1-1 the settings in Xwrapper.config are ignored.

In a system with systemd, I start the Xserver from /etc/rc.local with:

su -l myusername -c 'exec startx -- vt4 >> /tmp/xsession-errors 2>&1'

i.e. X is started from a user which is not logged in a console. This 
simulates the "autologin" feature of some display managers. No display 
manager is installed on this machine.

Until version 2:1.19.0-3 this works like a charm if /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config contains:

needs_root_rights=yes
allowed_users=anybody

Starting from 2:1.19.1-1, X does not start anymore and fails with:

[    63.770] (EE)
Fatal server error:
[    63.773] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 
4 (Permission denied)
[    63.774] (EE)
[    63.776] (EE)
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
         at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.
[    63.782] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/home/tiziano/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
[    63.784] (EE)
[    63.785] (WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
[    63.785] (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
[    63.785] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

If I login in the console, I can start X with "startx", but I can not 
start on a different console from that I am logged into, i.e. 
"startx -- vt4" fails with the same error.

I don't see anything in the package changelog that would explain the problem.

Reverting to 2:1.19.0-3 fixes the problem.

Thanks!
Tiziano
