You can still use `xdm' or a similar way of starting X11, because it will be started by init(8) before the securelevel is raised by the `/etc/rc.d/securelevel' script. I don't think this is worth mentioning in security(7), because we can't possibly document *ALL* the possible things that can fail with a bumped securelevel.
