The original idea behind this change (described in ticket #11064) was to improve the assertions to avoid that users of the X server accidentally forget to configure a DM or WM. However this caused several issues with setups that require X, but no DM or WM. The keymap testcases became instable as well as now disabling DMs needs to be done explicitly. (see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31268#issuecomment-347080036) In the end the idea behind the change and #11064 was obviously a mistake, so reverting it completely for now should be fine. |

To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at https://nixos.org/nix/download.html When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project (i.e., `nixpkgs`), run: nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the manual got generated.
