Subject:   granting XFree access to /dev/io ?

Hi everyone,

I ran XFree86 -config which failed as it could not open /dev/io (which
has root rw perms).
I have the Xwrapper installed, so as Xwrapper is SUID, I suspect this is
a problem that goes beyond simple file/device permissions. I should
mention that I'm running in secure level 3 (I tend to be paranoid at
times), and I guess this is making trouble. Is there a way to grant
XFree access to /dev/io without lowering the secure level?

BTW, using X(.*)-4 on 4.3.

Thanks
Thomas
