Hi Rob,

By default, Devuan uses the seventh tty for X sessions. The permision is denied 
because xserver-xorg is not SUID root. If it is called from another SUID root 
program (a display manager like slim or lightdm) it will work. But first, you 
can try reinstalling xserver-xorg package to set the correct permissions, once 
created the user.

Cheers,

Aitor.






Thanks for the reply. Reinstalled xserver-xorg and xinit but no change. Checked 
file permissions for Xorg and xinit, SUID bit was not set. Used chmod to set 
SUID on both files and it is now working.
As an experiment I reinstalled xserver-xorg and xinit again and the SUID bit 
was removed.

Rob
