How to start X as non root user without using display manager
I'm hoping to boot into a non privileged user to use the phone. Does anyone know how to start X as a non root user without using a display manager. My attempts to simply add --chuid option to start-stop-daemon result in the error message - "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting". If I login using a usb keyboard an issue startxfce from the shell there isn't any problem. Thoughts?
