When Xorg is started on display :0, this ioctl is called to grant the user the rights traditionally associated with /dev/console (before VT support was added), such as access to local peripheral devices. Also adds a Solaris-specific -C flag to force starting on /dev/console instead of /dev/vt*, allowing programs like xterm -C to access the console device.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
