Well, I won't oppose that, although I do not like it: on this system, apart from the keyboard issue with gdm, I have all DE's working (not tested thoroughly, though), with a non suid Xorg and mountcgroupfs disabled. For the permissions: as soon a logind is started it adds some ACL's to /dev/dri/card0 for the logged in user (even if logged in on the console, I think): for example: $ getfacl /dev/dri/card0 # file: dev/dri/card0 # owner: root # group: video user::rw- user:pierre:rw- group::rw- mask::rw- other::--- So no need to belong to the video group. Note that the ACL is not changed if you do 'su - new-user'. OTOH, for the /dev/input/* files, their permissions do not seem to be changed. But I can tell you that I have functional keyboard and mouse, without belonging to the input group.
