Since you don't have an active session (according to logind), the
resulting behaviour is expected.
This is indeed a startx issue, since usually the display manager
(lightdm, gdm) takes care of registering a logind session.

IIRC if you want to use startx, you need to make sure pam_systemd is
enabled for the console login and you need to teach startx to inherit
the tty from the console login, i.e. if you logged in on tty1, X needs
to start on tty1 (and not on tty7, which it usually does).

See [0]. There this issue was re-assigned to xinit.

I've CCed the X maintainers for their input. Are you ok if we re-assign
this bug to xinit?

Cheers,
Michael
