No. It just means that startx no longer requires root to start X. It removes setuid root from one more executable.

- snazz 8y agoEven better. Then it’s a win-win.
- snazz 8y agoI was incorrect: It appears that you do in fact need root to run startx now: (quoting the faq page for upgrade65): Xorg(1). The Xorg binary is no longer installed setuid, so startx(1) can no longer be used by non-root users. The xenodm(1) display manager has to be used instead.
- zmyrgel 8y agoI thought it means exactly that for X you need to run xenodm. But if you don't want to run it by default you can use "doas rcctl start -f xenodm" to start display manager when needed.
