=== X server Privilege Model on Solaris - explaining how we drop privs and reviewing to see what's upstreamable. ===

=== Alan Coopersmith ===

startup, relying on the kernel to handle input device access for
hotplugging & vt switching, and utilizing patches to gdm to pass information
to Xorg on authenticated users.  This talk will go over some of the details
and open a discussion on what should be upstreamed.
