You can find a packages called xorg-server-rootless (and all sub packages concerning xorg) in obarun repository. This packages allow to start X session with normal user.


The use of KMS is needed and maybe the driver corresponding to your hardware e.g xf86-video-intel.

A file called Xwrapper.config at /etc/X11 can be necessary too containing those following lines :

allowed_users = anybody
needs_root_rights = no
But this is not a mandatory file, personnaly i use the driver intel but without this file and all works well.


This package need test on different hardware to see if it's works for all video card. I would like to switch officialy on those packages but i know that some drivers cause trouble. Test and feedback on the forum are very welcome.
