Zhai, Edwin - Aug. 2, 2011, 8 a.m.
From: Zhai Edwin <edwin.zhai@intel.com>

sudo is used to run rootless X in xserver-nodm, and start to fail with
"xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0" error after upgrade to 1.8.1. sudo
seems wait for some resource that is unavailable in early phase of booting.
This patch swith to "su" for rootless X starting as a fix.

[YOCTO #1211] got fixed
