Since the service runs as root, does it matter who owns /dev/fb?
ogl-select just opens it (indirectly via constype), doesn't try
to check the owner, right?
(It might make sense to have something in the startup process run
the logindevperm functions to chown those back to root just in
case the machine crashed while they were chowned to a user, but
that's probably more of something devfsadm should be doing than us.)
