It does have to, unless you're on KMS. And if you're on KMS, it has to so that you can write to logfiles, read input devices, VT switch, and stuff like that. I think "run X as user Xorg if you're on KMS" would be a fine F15Feature to aim for. Ubuntu's been working on it too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Rootless - Chris. -- Chris Ball <c...@laptop.org> One Laptop Per Child -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
