System: NetBSD khemlani.nowhere.org 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (KHEMLANI) #3: Mon Mar 25 11:26:47 PST 2002 stephenm@khemlani.nowhere.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/KHEMLANI i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
The default XFree86 config for NetBSD/i386 doesn't include the
aperture driver support. The aperture support is required for many
XFree86 video drivers when running on non-INSECURE kernels.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build XFree86 server from xsrc without any site.cf
customisations. Install aperture lkm. Start xserver. XFree86 spits out
the following warning:  

  (WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Operation not permitted)

instead of the message:

  (II) checkDevMem: using aperture driver /dev/xf86

>Fix:
Note that this change only includes the aperture driver support in the
X server. The actual driver LKM build and install still needs to be
done separately.
