We load the driver list, then enable I/O, then call driver probe based on whether I/O enable succeeded. That's bad, because the loaded security policy might forbid port access. We happen to treat that as fatal for some reason, which means even drivers that don't need I/O access (like kms and fbdev) don't get the chance to run. Facepalm. How about we just make that non-fatal instead, that sounds like a much better plan.

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.
