Hi Rob,
By default, Devuan uses the seventh tty for X sessions. The permision is
denied because xserver-xorg is not SUID root. If it is called from
another SUID root program (a display manager like slim or lightdm) it
will work. But first, you can try reinstalling xserver-xorg package to
set the correct permissions, once created the user.
Cheers,
Aitor.

After upgrade tonight came out of Xorg to restart openbox.
I tried to start Xorg but it failed with "xf86OpenConsole cannot open /dev/tty0
( no such file or directory)
/dev/tty0 was there so assumed permission problem. Temporarily added my user to
tty group and tried again.
This time Xorg failed to start with "xf86OpenConsole cannot open Virtual
Console 7 ( permisson denied.)
How to resolve?
Xorg.log below
Thanks
