Let's clear up some FUD here: systemd is only required for running Xorg as a non-root user, which is desirable from a security POV. Running Xorg as non-root is only possible using a KMS kernel driver. For configurations which don't / can't use a KMS kernel driver (or systemd), Xorg still needs to run as root, just as it always did before. That's what the xserver-xorg-legacy package is for. Now, the fact that the xserver-xorg-legacy package wasn't automatically installed in this case may be a Debian packaging bug. Feel free to report a bug against the xserver-xorg-video-mach64 package. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer
