How are you starting X ? Unless you're using startx from a text console this failure is expected to happen since most display managers do not start the Xserver in a properly setup session (such as logging into a text console will give you), and without a proper session X cannot talk to systemd-logind.

Which is why we're carrying this patch:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xorg-x11-server.git/tree/0001-Fedora-hack-Make-the-suid-root-wrapper-always-start-.patch

And why the "Xorg without root rights" feature has been pushed back to F-22. With your custom
Xwrapper.config you're overriding the default selected by that patch, causing the problem you are seeing.

Regards,

Hans
