This, however, failed due to dependency reasons:xorg-server (2:1.17.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
The Xorg server is no longer setuid root by default. This change reduces the
risk of privilege escalation due to X server bugs, but has some side effects:
* it relies on logind and libpam-systemd
* it relies on a kernel video driver (so the userspace component doesn't
touch the hardware directly)
* it needs X to run on the virtual console (VT) it was started from
* it changes the location for storing the Xorg log from /var/log/ to
~/.local/share/xorg/
On systems where those are not available, the new xserver-xorg-legacy package
is needed to allow X to run with elevated privileges. See the
Xwrapper.config(5) manual page for configuration details.
