Xorg creates the log-dir in its output path because X crashes if it can't write to its logfile. On a regular distro, this dir would be installed into the root to prevent that from happening but with Nix, it sits in the read-only Nix store. Ironically, when Xorg tries to write here, it fails and crashes. To make Xorg log to /var/log, we have to stop the build script from trying to create the log-dir as the sandbox doesn't (and shouldn't) have access to /var. This creates a runtime dependency on /var when running as root but that should exist on any Linux system (on NixOS, journald always creates /var/log). Previously, the startx displayManager required some workarounds for logfiles which are obsolete now. patchPhase -> postPatch because overriding the patchPhase prevents patches from being applied
