-.Sh NAME
-.Nm xf86
-.Nd XFree86 aperture driver
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Cd "option APERTURE"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Pa /dev/xf86
-driver provides access to the memory and I/O ports of a VGA board for
-use by the XFree86 X servers
-when running with a kernel security level > 0.
-.Pp
-The X servers require the use of this driver.
-.Sh ACCESS CONTROL
-Access to the
-.Pa /dev/xf86
-device is allowed when the sysctl variable
-.Va machdep.allowaperture
->= 1.
-This variable (which default value is 0)
-can only be manipulated when the security level is <= 0, so it should be
-set in
-.Pa /etc/sysctl.conf .
-The possible values for
-.Va machdep.allowaperture
-are:
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.It 0
-the aperture driver is disabled.
-Opening it returns
-.Dv EPERM.
-.It 1
-the aperture driver allows access to standard VGA framebuffer and
-BIOS.
-.It 2
-the aperture driver allows access to the whole 1st megabyte of physical
-memory, permitting use of the int10 emulation in XFree86 4.0.x.
-Note that this can cause some security problems, since the process that
-has access to the aperture driver can also access part of the kernel
-memory.

-.Sh HISTORY
-.Pa /dev/xf86
-was introduced as a loadable kernel module for
-.Nx 0.9 c
-with XFree86 3.1.
-It was integrated as an in-kernel device on
-.Ox 2.3 .
-It is required in order to allow access to I/O ports for all X servers since
-.Ox 2.4 .
-.Sh AUTHORS
-The aperture driver was written by Matthieu Herrb.
-.Sh BUGS
-This driver allows access to all addresses above
-.Va physmem .
-It should be restricted to the actual address range of the video
-memory.
