LightDM fails in Alpine

Hi Folks,

Alpine-linux after last upgrade 6.1.45-0-lts a few days ago can't start X.
The login manager (LightDM) I fails to start. The culprit is xorg-server, I think, but I can't have a clue why because before this last upgrade it works just fine with XFCE. Also can not startx from console.
I reinstalled lightdm-gtk-greeter, xorg-server with no succes.
