For what it's worth: The reason I introduced HW_SKIP_CONSOLE originally was to allow the server to run without root privileges when it doesn't need them. That turns out to be useful for debugging too, but wasn't my motivation. I would very much like it if people could continue to run Xorg in Xnest/Xvfb-like situations without needing extra privileges or magic flags. Jamey
