I can start X (in a chroot) via 'xinit -- :1'*, but my mouse and
keyboard don't seem to work there (for example, I can't switch between
ttys).  Should I somehow allow a non-chroot user to access the X server?
Or should I reconfigure the server itself?

* It shows an Xterm window, but I can't type anything there.
