As a quick test I created /etc/X11/xserver/ and only touched SecurityPolicy. the permissions match yours. Now all users can log into X!!!! SecurityPolicy, is empty! I've seen some strange problems with upgrades to unstable but this xorg7 upgrade in etch was the strangest yet. I still see some odd messages, such as Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/OTF, removing from list! Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/CID/, removing from list! The TTF,OTF,CID paths are not in the xorg.conf list of fonts so _something_ else is is looking for those fonts and throwing that error. So, all in all, xorg is finally working, thanks to you Florian. You provided all the missing links to get me going. Thank you! Oh, and I changed the permissions back to what they should be on /var/log, and it continues to work.
