Ok. Whatever. What I did now was that I've updated a regular SLES12 system with intel graphics card with X11:XOrg:42 repo. I noticed that I also needed to update xf86-input-evdev driver (probably no issue for openSUSE:42, if this got recompiled with the new X input API version). Bare Xserver then shows me: # grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [ 10669.875] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/dri/card0: Operation not permitted [ 10670.013] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/input/event5: Operation not permitted [ 10670.023] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/input/event4: Operation not permitted [ 10670.024] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/input/event0: Operation not permitted [ 10670.025] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/input/event1: Operation not permitted [ 10670.026] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/input/event2: Operation not permitted [ 10670.027] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/input/event6: Operation not permitted But everything works AFAICS. Same applies to X started via gdm. # grep EE /var/log/gdm/:0.log (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 2702 does not belong to any known session GNOME session works fine though. So currently I believe we need an update for systemd-logind. And the GNOME update broke something in addition ...
