Hi Alexander,

 at http://www.Leidinger.net/FreeBSD/current-patches/jail.diff I have some
 changes which should apply to RELENG_7(_0) and HEAD which allow access to
 /dev/io (if configured appropriately, see the included man-page change).
 This is needed to run a X server in a jail. You may also need to load
 manually (or via the loader) the kernel module which is normally loaded by
  the X server (in my case (a Radeon card) this means to have
 radeon_load="YES" in loader.conf). AFAIR the X server works without this,
 but probably without some acceleration. I haven't tested any 3D stuff.

Thank you very much for providing your work in this area.  I would
really like to test your patch, but I currently have very little spare
time left by my job.  So I will only cheer you up :).

Thanks. :)

 You also need to setup /etc/devfs.rules (this is a copy of my one, it
 contains more than is needed to run the X server, so you can trim this if
 you want):
 ---snip---
[...]
 ---snip---

 You also need to make sure those rules are applied to your jail
 (jail_<jailname>_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail_desktop").

Do you plan to document this else where, maybe in the jail chapter of
the handbook?  Otherwise I will merely bookmark your mail.

What you need or not depends upon your usage scenario. I don't think this belongs into the man page. If I document this in the handbook or not, I haven't thought about (somehow I think I will not have the time to do it). If someone takes my mail (after the code is committed), adds some sentences and wants to commit this into the handbook, I happily review the text.

Bye,
Alexander.
