Except for Linux's kernel mode setting first killing my video on Intel i810 and now doing the same in ATI Mobility Radeon 4200. If they could get this to work with older hardware, OR accept that it only works for a certain subset of video chips and create new drivers with KMS while preserving the old ones with UMS, then maybe we'd be getting somewhere.
I'm all for more security, but a non-working video display is a bit of a nonstarter. (And I'm hoping OpenBSD doesn't follow along.)
