Hello,
In article <1lonuj$ce@tricky.wft.stack.urc.tue.nl> jim@wft.stack.urc.tue.nl (Jim Rump) writes:

Have you solved this problem? I had a same problem, but finally solved
it. I installed XFree86-1.1 as follows:
Patch patchkit-0.1
Edit kernel configuration file ("GENERICISA"), and add 2 lines:
option XSERVER
option UCONSOLE (I use "pccons" console driver.)
(Don't add them in Makefile.386bsd.)
Recompile kernel
Extract XFree86 distribution package
Execute /usr/X386/lib/X11/etc/x386install
Reboot
Type "xinit" !!
If you recompile the kernel correctly, you can successfully install XFree86.
I hope this helps you.
