Glad to hear it. FWIW, I haven't noticed any loss of functionality in |
| 9 |
any programs since disabling sys_ioperm/sys_iopl. I now have them |
| 10 |
disabled even in non- hardened/gresecurity kernels as well. |

The remainder of this message applies to the list as a whole: |

I'm happy to report that the patch worked: the Intel integrated graphics |
| 15 |
drivers now work with "privileged I/O" disabled as well. |

In hopes that others might benefit as well, I filed a bug report at BGO: |

From there you can also download the patch as a single file (as opposed |
| 21 |
to the 3-part series from mailing list to which I linked in my initial |
| 22 |
post). I tested against x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.2. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Instead of failing, my Xorg log now emits the harmless message during |
| 25 |
initiation: "xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Function not |
| 26 |
implemented)" |
| 27 |
|

I don't know whether the Gentoo X maintainers will appreciate the |
| 29 |
significance, so feel free to add comments if you think it's worthwhile. |
| 30 |
Hopefully the changes will be merged upstream soon. |
