Thank you for your kind reply (FYI, it went to the Spam folder in Gmail :-(, so I am writing from another account). If I executed 'startx' as root, Xorg started on current VT; but, if I executed it as normal user, it didn't work, as I previously said. I had to install libpam-systemd and systemd-shim to solve the problem. Should this package be recommended by xorg or xinit? Cheers, Zhana
