Basically PLD's xinit lacks proper CK support. See Fedora, Gentoo,
Debian for working examples. A "workaround" posted in your previous
post is a step in a right direction.

Well, just don't use udev-acl and add
SUBSYSTEM=="drm", GROUP="video" to
50-my-lovely-intel-video-accelerator.rules
But wait! It's too crappy to play Penumbra anyway... ;)

Maybe. Any volunteers?
But seriously. "no reason to revert" it's just my opinion (and I'm not
a developer). The crappy gdm thing works with CK 0.4.3 version, so I
assume it can be done without reverting it.
