My new machine has no problem with graphics using System Rescue etc
nor using 'startx' as root with Gentoo, but it refuses to start as user.

I've had a series of errors :

  parse_vt_settings : can't open /dev/tty0 (permission denied)

after adding my user to 'tty input' in 'group' :

  can't open virtual console 7 : permission denied

after adding 'elogind' to 'default' runlevel & starting it :

  xf86EnableIO : failed to enable I/O ports 0000-03ff
   (operation not permitted)

yes, my user is in the 'video' group & 'xorg-server' has  USE="elogind" .

In my current machine, there is a  /dev/fb0  with permission  660 .
but there is no such device in the new machine.

I've looked at several "solved" cases of the same error messages,
but they don't seem to help my problem.

Can anyone offer possible solutions ?
