I'd say drivers that need IO access should call the function; the server
shouldn't do it for them. The big question is how to know ahead of time
whether this is necessary. One could, in theory, have the init scripts
probe the available video devices and chmod u+s /usr/bin/Xorg or some
such, but that seems pretty ugly to me.
