to the much smaller audience of just ON developers instead of the broader user

Good question - I wonder if it should be on by default before 2010.03.

I am getting ready to publish test binaries of Xorg 1.5 for our
upcoming switch to it - can I get the source changes you made in

xdm
& gdm sources passes the X display as the PAM_TTY value, so we'd
either need to change them or add :0 to /etc/securetty. From
looking at the dtlogin code, it appears to pass /dev/console as
PAM_TTY.)

hat's your opinion?
It will be very difficult to find keys outside of the Alt + F* set that
are available on everyone's keyboard (Alt+Front is probably available,

such as kdmconfig or Xorg -configure that won't run properly in a
RC graphics drivers are a whole other question you'll have
to talk to the SPARC graphics driver team about.)
