Hello,

We are trying to run an X server inside a vserver. We found some
messages on the mailing list but no know success ;-)

The errror we have is the following :
========= Extract of XFree86 log ==============
* BIOS: Failed to open /dev/mem (Operation not permitted)
Using vt 7
(--) using VT number 7

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device)

Fatal server error:
xf86EnableIOPorts: Failed to set IOPL for I/O
====End of Extract of XFree86 log ==============

I noticed that it is not possible to access /dev/mem from inside a
vserver. I think this is needed because X try to directly access the
memory.

Any idea to achieve that ?

Thanks by advance,

Ben
