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.
