Hi Philip,

> My user is in 'tty wheel usb input video' (among others).

that shoud suffice.

You need to use '-keeptty' for xinit and preselect a TTY. For myself I 
have put this into my bashrc and it works quite well:

xinit ()
{
     local VT;
     local DISPLAY;
     VT=vt$(tty | sed 's/.*tty//');
     DISPLAY=:$(pgrep -cf 'X.*keeptty.*vt');
     /usr/bin/xinit -- $DISPLAY -keeptty -wr $VT
}

Cheers
Björn
