Did not work, elogind definitely starts and daemon.log showed:
Aug 26 00:05:16 plexi dbus-daemon[1145]: [system] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.login1' requested by ':1.0' (uid=0 pid=1311
comm="/bin/login -- ") (using servicehelper)
Aug 26 00:05:16 plexi dbus-daemon[1145]: [system] Successfully activated
service 'org.freedesktop.login1'
But despite that 'successfully' I still got the permission problem.
So then I tried adding a brand new user (new-boy, in group
new-group) with a really cut-down .xinitrc to just start fluxbox :
similar result, i.e. desktop appeared but no keyboard or mouse.
After rebooting, new-boy's Xorg log shows the same 'Permission
denied' on each of the /dev/input/event files.
