Comment:
In my experience, change `needs_root_rights` to `auto` requires adding user into `input` group to use the keyboard, mouse. We need to figure out which user should be added, and how.

Closed issue by r00tman on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/13754
Description:
Is there a reason we keep `needs_root_rights = yes` in `/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config`, when we can change it to `needs_root_right = auto`? The latter would allow Xorg.wrap to drop root privileges if it detects that KMS is supported.
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System
* xuname:
Void 5.1.21_1 x86_64-musl GenuineIntel uptodate rF
* package:
xorg-server-1.20.5_1
### Expected behavior
Xorg.wrap drops root privileges if all cards support KMS
### Actual behavior
Xorg always runs as root.
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Use default Xwrapper.config

Comment:
The only "safe" way this can work is by building xorg with `elogind` support by default, which I don't think will ever happen.
Can add a docs entry about it, maybe.
