With this change, they definitely fix something because I even get X on
the box started. Previously, it would spit out the warning and wouldn't
start X with the login window. And my suspicion is that wdm (WINGs
display manager) I'm using, does /dev/mem accesses when it starts and it
obviously failed. Now not so much :-)
