Add a simple message for systemd users when X11 fails to initialise.
This system is rather crude and uses mingetty to ensure the tty is properly reset and initialised. A more complete solution would do all this internally and perhaps offer some options to e.g. enter the root password and automatically run drakx11. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4769
