Package: dwm Version: 6.1-3 Severity: minor I set up a virtual machine (Virtualbox 5.1.14) to play around with dwm. I only installed these packages on a minimal Debian Sid system:
xinit dwm The problem is a normal user cannot start dwm with this .xinitrc: exec dwm this error message looks like this: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) but root can start dwm in the same way without any error message. According to Bug#802327, I installed the xserver-xorg-legacy package and the problem was gone. So I wish that dwm could recommend the package.
