IIUC above, this is because we do not have elogind in LFS, so our first build of dbus does not link to libsystemd (unlike in LFS-systemd). The lack of dbus support is inconsequential in that configuration because we are going to rebuild systemd later in BLFS. >There is also another thing, which bothers me: instructions for the >xorg >server are the same in both books (sysv/elogind and systemd).

In fact, I think I am the only one who has demonstrated that a rootless Xorg is even possible with elogind in our group. Five consecutive builds, all slightly different, but logical (apparently only to me), build orders. I'd gotten frustrated trying to track it down, I was simply spinning my wheels, so I put it on the back burner (knowing that a viable workaround exists). I'll be testing noveau on an existing build next week to possibly eliminate hardware/drivers. I want to also say that I've built entirely in chroot already, but I'm not 100% certain on that.
