For comparison, attached are two elogind builds. The 90 build is a direct

169.
I've just finished looking at those - a lot of differences in the
build orders compared to my builds (and I note that in 9a you built
kde on the way to gnome).
No, I didn't. I'm not sure why you think that. At a minimum kde
requires extra-cmake-modules and that is not in the list I sent. What I
did was run jhalfs/blfs. When there I selected all the gnome platform
packages and had jhalfs select the dependencies and the build order.
There was an issue in that in some places we had 'pkgA or pkgB' and
jhalfs thought both were needed. That required a lot of lxde to be
built. We've fixed that since by marking those constructs as 'nodump'
for one of the two or'd packages.
I'll attach my own build order, with two
builds of elogind, i.e. the most recent "cannot startx as a user"
build (the past build on my haswell lacked the second build of
elogind and did startx as a user, but without access to the keyboard
and mouse).
As an aside, perhaps amdgpu (and maybe radeon) has a second issue - I
was testing out systemrescuecd-6.03 the other day - it has a 4.19
kernel and startx fails, trying to load radeon instead of amdgpu
(Picasso vga is not recognized, I suppose). By 'installing' the
stick's contents in RAM I was able to drop radeon and amdgpu, but
then startx failed, it could not use the framebuffer which I guess
was not surprising because it didn't know about the Picasso firmware.
I do not think your original problem involved video at all. It was that
you had no mouse/kbd input.
Anyway, the main difference I see between your builds and mine is that
I omitted the following:
cracklib, and therefore I did not rebuild PAM
lsb-release
xcb-util-image
xcb-util-renderutil
xcb-util-wm
xcb-util-cursor
I wonder if the additional xcb-util items might make a difference
(I'd only previously built them for kde). I have not yet wiped the
system, but it's too late tonight to try adding them and reverting
the chmod on Xorg.
It's possible, but I really think it is a permissions problem. After
all, making the Xorg executable suid allowed things to work.
I suggest building cracklib and then rebuilding/reconfiguring pam. If
you still have the video problem, I think that is a completely different
problem.
