You can still debug X but only for an actual X server. Anyway even when I was maintaining X a few years back, I don't think I ever started it from the text console. I always used the official methods for starting X (service dm restart in those days). So not sure it's really all that needed for debugging.
Thanks for the explanations. If this is a matter of ACL only, I would let startx existing even of sound or acceleration is not working.
I also remember mandriva times for which the dm was not working. Or simple than that, when hald was switched off and autoadddevice=false, startx was usefull to open a X session.
Cheers, Chris.
