    I just installed OpenBSD 3.0, and replied yes when it asked if this computer
    will be using X windows.

    I noticed that in /etc/sysctl.conf, machdep.allowaperture=2.

    All the documentation says machdep.allowaperture should = 1 to use X. And
    man 4 xf86 says machdep.allowaperture = 2 "can cause some security
    problems."

    All I want to know is THE REASON WHY machdep.allowaperture=2 on default
    installation when I indicated during installation that I will be using X on
    this system.
