Perhaps that `fixes' the problem for you, but it's completely wrong.
The problem is that the X server is opening and closing /dev/mem, and
thus losing its I/O permissions, while still expecting to have them
because of the CONSOLE_X_MODE ioctl on /dev/vga. Sigh.
The only thing I can really do about this is add a reference count for
the stupid IOPL hack.
