I'm still totally failing to get elogind to allow me to use non-suid
Xorg. I can see that elogind starts, e.g. after reinstating suid on
Xorg this morning:
Aug 24 07:00:50 plexi dbus-daemon[1224]: [system] Activating service

But I never get permission to use /dev/input/event* so the Xorg log
in ~/,local has a series of
[ 128.874] (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
[ 128.874] (**) Option "_source" "server/udev"

and similarly for event0 (keyboard-all), events11..13
(keyboard-catchall), event14 (mouse).
I've been assuming that a normal user should NOT be in the input
group, but there are "fixes" for similar problems by adding the
normal user to the input group.
Is that the right thing to do in BLFS, and if so, where have I
missed noticing it ? (grepping for 'group' or 'input' in the xml
finds far too many matches, e.g. for userinput tags).
