X refuses to kick in. rootless related?

Hya,

System
Debian/stretch 32 bit on this hardware.
console log in, then startx.

Situation
After dist-upgrade, X refuses to kick in.
Last upgrade was July 2015.

xinit upgrades 1.3.4-1 to 1.3.4-3

Troubleshooting.
Xorg.0.log reads:

Code:

.

.[  2575.537] (--) using VT number 7



[  2575.537] (EE) 

Fatal server error:

[  2575.537] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission denied)

[  2575.537] (EE)

This thread suggests something like

Code:

xinit -- /usr/bin/Xorg vt1

Current situation
With the trick above, X kicks in. But still long way to go.

I will update.

cheers.

Hya

A kind of easy trick resolved this situation.

Code:

startx -- vtN

Closing remark
Happy Penguins!

cheers
