X needs to access /dev/io, which is not possible if securelevel is raised. You need to startx/gdm and _then_ raise securelevel. This is not flexible, because if X server crashes, you can't start it again without rebooting. OpenBSD provides an option 'APERTURE' which allows X to start even when securelevel is >0. I wish we would have that as well... -- Farid Hajji. http://www.farid-hajji.net/address.htmlReceived on Sun Jul 20 2003 - 07:40:27 UTC
