services.xserver.displayManager.startx.enable

Whether to enable the dummy "startx" pseudo-display manager, which allows users to start X manually via the "startx" command from a vt shell. The X server runs under the user's id, not as root. The user must provide a ~/.xinitrc file containing session startup commands, see startx(1). This is not automatically generated from the desktopManager and windowManager settings.
