System: NetBSD swinger.shagadelic.org 1.6ZE NetBSD 1.6ZE (SWINGER) #1: Sun Nov  2 17:51:41 PST 2003  thorpej@yeah-baby.shagadelic.org:/u1/netbsd/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/SWINGER macppc
Architecture: powerpc
Machine: macppc
>Description:
	The GENERIC kernel for macppc is apparently incapable of running
	the XF4 X server.  It tries to open /dev/mem (why it does this on
	macppc is beyond me), which fails because the GENERIC kernel does
	not have "options INSECURE".

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to run the XF4 X server on a G4 with a GENERIC kernel.

>Fix:
	This is worked around by adding "options INSECURE" to the kernel.
