At first, I didn't have 'io' or 'mem' in my kernel config file, and xorg
complained about missing /dev/io. So, not knowing that I needed 'mem',
too, I added 'io' to my kernel config file and rebuilt/installed. After
reboot, xorg then complained about missing /dev/vga. This stumped me,
so I went to cvsweb and compared the GENERIC that my customer kernel was
based on versus the latest GENERIC to see what "GENERIC" stuff I was
missing. The only thing that was missing was 'mem'. So, I added mem,
did the dance again, and now xorg works like a champ.
FYI, even with 'io' and 'mem' in my kernel, there is still no /dev/vga,
but xorg doesn't seem to mind anymore.
