Running Xorg with suid is insecure and can lead to privilege escalation. So |
| 17 |
this method of running Xorg is no longer recommended. |

The systemd-logind and elogind by default only allow you to run X on the |
| 20 |
console you have logged in as a user - this is controlled by the corresponding |
| 21 |
pam module (e.g. pam-elogind.so). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
As I understand it systemd-logind and its elogind derivative both use the |
| 24 |
variable $XDG_VTNR to set the VT number. I suppose this variable could be set |
| 25 |
to a different VT than the console you login, via .xinitrc, or .xserverrc, or |
| 26 |
.bashrc - but I haven't tried it out. |
