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.
