Hello, you can use 'xorg-server-service-type' (not documented, patch
welcome!) with 'sx' (recommended) or 'xinit':
1. Add 'xorg-server-service-type' to the system config, and reconfigure.
After this you'll have 'X' and 'Xorg' in '/run/current-system/profile/bin'.
2. Install 'sx' or 'xinit', config them:
- For 'sx', create the ~/.config/sx/sxrc script, which likely ends
with 'exec dbus-run-session -- i3' .
- For 'xinit', create the ~/.xinitrc script and a ~/.xserverrc with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
tty=$(tty)
tty=${tty#/dev/tty}
X vt${tty}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This xserverrc is needed for rootless X to start with the current tty.
3. Run 'sx' or 'xinit' from tty. I think you also need to to be in the
'video' and 'input' group for this to work.
Hope it helps!
