xenodm supports login_fbtab(3) to chown devices but it currently doesn't do anything because /etc/fbtab does not list /dev/ttyC4. It uses the GiveConsole and TakeConsole scripts in /etc/X11/xenodm/ to do this manually, but the file lists are not complete.
I would like to remove all of the custom chown/chmod calls in the GiveConsole and TakeConsole scripts and move this into /etc/fbtab by adding /dev/ttyC4 and all of the wskbd* and wsmouse* devices so that wsconsctl from within X11 works. (These wildcards require the just-committed changes to libutil.) The current fbtab lists many of these devices for /dev/ttyC0 which seems only relevant for running OpenGL applications from the console (is this even possible?) or running X11 as an unprivileged user which we don't support anymore. Is there any particular reason to keep these around for /dev/ttyC0? This has bit me before when I am logged into X11 as my normal user, I login to ttyC0 as root to check something which chowns all the devices to root, then later in X11 I notice no GL-using apps like Firefox work anymore because they can't open /dev/dri nodes. Once these file lists are ironed out, I will make diffs for all the other arches. diff --git etc/etc.amd64/fbtab etc/etc.amd64/fbtab index aec447931a7..df5a7a29cdd 100644 --- etc/etc.amd64/fbtab +++ etc/etc.amd64/fbtab @@ -1 +1,2 @@ -/dev/ttyC0 0600 /dev/console:/dev/wskbd:/dev/wskbd0:/dev/wsmouse:/dev/wsmouse0:/dev/ttyCcfg:/dev/ttyC4:/dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/renderD128 +/dev/ttyC0 0600 /dev/console:/dev/wskbd*:/dev/wsmouse*:/dev/ttyCcfg +/dev/ttyC4 0600 /dev/console:/dev/wskbd*:/dev/wsmouse*:/dev/ttyCcfg:/dev/ttyC4:/dev/dri/*
