   XFree86's kernel patches are identical to those in Terry Lambert's
   patchkit versions 0.1 and 0.2 because they were contributed to the
   patchkit.  So use one or the other not both.  If you apply patches
   28-31 from either patchkit, don't apply the XFree86 kernel patches.
   In fact, the patch kit is easeier to use, so you might want to
   consider it first.

   Also, you *must* add `option XSERVER' to your kernel configuration
   file when you rebuild the kernel.  `option UCONSOLE' is required as
   well with XFree86's kernel patches and patchkit 0.1 but is not needed
   with version 0.2 of the patchkit.

I was wrong here. UCONSOLE is needed independent of the patchkit.  So
README.386BSD should read:

Also, you *must* add `option XSERVER,UCONSOLE' to your kernel
configuration file when you rebuild the kernel.

Thanks to David Dawes and Nate for pointing this out!  Rich
