This is just a guess, but you might be able to do it by modifying the
XF86Config-4 file.

Change:

  Section "Module"
[...]
          Load    "extmod"
[...]
  EndSection

to:

  Section "Module"
[...]
          SubSection "extmod"
              Option "omit SECURITY"
          EndSubSection
[...]
  EndSection

or maybe:

  Section "Module"
[...]
          SubSection "extmod"
              Option "omit XC-SECURITY"
          EndSubSection
[...]
  EndSection

I haven't tried this myself.  Please let us know if this works.
