    I've revived the Apature kernel patch for the 4-Stable kernels
    and put a flag in for mutex under 5-Stable, but have not and will not test that
    part.
    The Xorg package does support it with the right flag switched on..
    So... the XDM under Seclevel is under control
    i will publish the new version of the patch once i've tested it a bit more.

    next one will be enabling access to /dev/<(a)cd0c> for CD writing.
    unless someone has a clever idea on how to do it ?!
    pointers and samples are welcome

    Cheers
    * Anna
