Synopsis: higher securelevel (>0) stops X server State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: joerg State-Changed-When: Sat Aug 23 14:51:16 MEST 1997 State-Changed-Why: That's not a bug but intention. Securelevels would be fairly useless if raw port IO were allowed in higher securelevels. For a real fix, the entire Xserver model would have to be revamped, and needed to use kernel drivers specific for each card. While this might in theory be possible with LKMs, it's nothing that is likely to happen anytime soon.
