Hi,

I'm using xfce without a graphical login. The system boots into a
terminal and after logging in in tty1, I start the GUI with startx.

This used to start X in vt7, but after the migration to elogind, X
starts in the same tty where I type the command, which I don't want.

I can't replicate the old behaviour. I tried "startx -- vt7", but I get
this error message:

Fatal server error:
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission denied)

I don't know if this is relevant, but under /dev I see:

crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 0 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty0
crw------- 1 edes tty 4, 1 oct 27 07:57 /dev/tty1
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 2 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty2
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 3 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty3
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 4 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty4
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 5 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty5
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 6 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty6
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 7 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty7
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 8 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty8
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 9 oct 27 07:54 /dev/tty9

I would appreciate any help, since I'm completely ignorant of all things
related to authentication, pam, and the rest, which I suspect might
have something to do with this (or perhaps not?).
