Actually, the standard configuration is that /dev/mem is read. The code to read from /dev/(u)random isn't activated in any situation in the standard upstream X distribution, and given that it contains an error that stops it from compiling[1] I suspect that it has only ever rarely been used. Obviously the correct thing to do is to shift to using /dev/(u)random by default. Jonathan.
