We had this discussion recently when fbtab(5) for xenodm(1) was fixed
6 weeks ago, but we didn't come to an agreement yet. tb@ asked me the
same question yesterday whether we can add video(1) to fbtab to avoid
manual chown of /dev/video0, which I think a lot of people do today.
Therefore here another try to bring this up.
This diff adds /dev/video0 to fbtab on all archs where video is
available. It's added for the existing console login entry, in case
people start X through startx/xinit, and on a new entry when X is
started through xenodm.
On all other archs than amd64, i386, arm64, and macppc I'm not sure
whether I have picked the right xenodm tty. Therefore I would be glad
if people can verify that, and let me know. If you run X on that arch
an easy way to identify this is:
grep consolePath /var/log/xenodm.log
xenodm info (pid 13760): consolePath: ttyC4
This additional entry could be also used later on to move the xenodm
GiveConsole/TakeConsole chown entries over, I guess.
Any thoughts?
