I tried changing securelevel to 0 in /etc/rc.conf and init changed it to 
1 against my will. :(

Relevant error/warning messages:
(WW) checkDevMem: failed to open /dev/mem (Operation not permitted)
(WW) xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O ((at two 
different points))
then finally
(EE) No devices detected
