Hello, I have built xorg-server, xauth, and xinit with their dependencies. When I do startx I get "xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission denied)". So, I change the permissions on /dev/tty7 to 660. Now, when I do startx I get "modeset(0): drmSetMaster failed: Permission denied". I read in the web that some people use SUID on /usr/bin/Xorg to solve this problem but I am not sure if it is safe to do that and maybe there is a better way. Same thing for my permissions on /dev/tty7, I would prefer to not change permissions if possible. With the Xorg provided by my distro, there is no SUID on /usr/bin/Xorg and only 0620 on /dev/tty7 which is better, and it works fine. So, I am wondering why it does not work with my own Xorg. Any idea please?
Set permissions to 755
