Note that this update is not seemless because it breaks virtual machines with vesa (no KMS, so can not access /dev/mem). The documentation says that Xorg will autodetect whether or not to drop root privs, but it doesn't. Forcing X to run as root via Xwrapper.config does help, but neither this file nor /etc/X11/X11 are part of the package. Is it possible to at least have the latter directory in xorg-server? Otherwise, great news! Thanks, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
