Description Hans de Goede 2014-03-20 10:47:25 UTC 
Hi,

Please add support for starting X inside a user session, so the Xorg can work without being suid root, for more details see:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/XorgWithoutRootRights

Thanks & Regards,

Hans

Upstream tracker,
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/246
Comment 2 Harald Reindl 2017-03-28 13:13:17 UTC 
horrible that there is no progress within 3 years and it smells like Wayland would be production ready before that happens - will SSDM at least work with Wayland in a relevant point of time?
Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2017-03-28 13:19:41 UTC 
Good question for upstream (development doesn't happen here in fedora)
Comment 4 Martin Bříza 2017-03-28 13:54:34 UTC 
As far as I know, SDDM works with Wayland already.
Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2017-03-28 14:05:02 UTC 
sddm can be used to start wayland user sessions, but sddm itself doesn't (use wayland) as far as I know.
Comment 6 Martin Bříza 2017-03-28 14:08:08 UTC 
Well, that's what was Harald talking about, I guess.
Anyway, there's work on supporting X User sessions here: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/673 
And Wayland in the greeter here: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/616

With some poking it could be done soon-ish.

new upstream work in progress,

https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1371
Comment 9 Neal Gompa 2022-03-05 15:19:12 UTC 
This is integrated in SDDM in F36 with the sddm-x11 package.
Comment 10 Neal Gompa 2022-03-05 15:20:03 UTC 
Note that the default for F36+ is Wayland right now, so you have to switch to X11 for that.
