Hi, It appears that xorg-server-1.20.3 got bump without new -r release with the flag 'suid' that is disabled by default. This breaks starting X via `startx` for users that runs without systemd. This is a huge change at least worth news item to be added. As either `systemd` flag needs to be enabled and systemd used, or `suid` to be enabled. Otherwise only root can start Xorg.
Commit that added it https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/92cc7c28132dd325318abd0f1150e96a9e631036#diff-d4507b969b25af0988f7a1d859fe2786 Looks like autoconf was enabling suid by default, now with the `use_enable`, it's disabled by default.
