Security feature.
Try this: create a new user and group (call it nano-X or something), place
all the users you want to be able to access the window server in the new
group, and run the nano-X server as the new user. If the new user can't
open the framebuffer devices because they're owned by root, create a new
group (fbusers?), set the group ID of the framebuffer devices to the
new framebuffer group, and add the nano-X user to the framebuffer group.
