I am affected by the same bug, although the X error message is slightly
different ("parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0" instead of
"xf86OpenConsole: " ...)In /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config I have tried to replaced allowed_users=console with allowed_users=anybody and in this file I also tried the option need_root_rights = yes but both attempts had no visible consequences. I have looked at the workaround for koda posted above, but I am unable to extract the bits that may make it help in my case. Perhaps someone can give suggestions to me based on the posted workaround. The program I want to run in its own Xserver is a game, so all the systemd stuff in the workaround is not that relevant to me. Although my knowledge of X is very limited, I'd love to contribute with some testing as far as I can go.
