(TXT) My patch for Devuan ASCII's `startx' command restores the correct behaviour of allocating the first free tty for X. With the bundled `startx' version, Xorg is launched in the same tty where `startx' is invoked; which is wrong, inconvenient and messy. To name but one downside: once you quit X, the tty is no longer owned by your user, but by root. The current broken behaviour originated at RedHat as a kludge for systemd component logind, and has no place in a distribution devoid of systemd.
