gdm is known to not work on fresh install in Milestone 1, unless you use autologin :/ (Nobody noticed, because we did upgrades)

OK. So there is no need to file a bug report, I suppose...

I think startx as normal user is not supported anymore.

In this case should startx be moved to /usr/sbin from /usr/bin where it is currently placed?

Vincent's answer is a bit misleading, startx should not be run as root (unless you want to start an X session as root which you don't), rather you need to have the Xorg binary setuid again if you want to be able start an X session as a regular user. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
