I assume the pccons-kernel is not working. What I did is use an old kernel with the earlier X386-patches. Xfree1.2 is running normally now. It's my fault - I got the kernels switched when archiving them. The following is part of the errata that will be posted soon. The errata and the new files are available on agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/incoming/XFree86-1.2 untill they are moved to /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86-1.2. The archives names holding the pccons and codrv configurations of the 386BSD kernel binaries on agate.berkeley.edu in /pub/386BSD/0.1-ports/XFree86-1.2 are named backwards. kernel-1.2.pccons.tar.Z is actually contains the codrv configuration and kernel-1.2.codrv.tar.Z is actually contains the pccons configuration. Just to be certain, you can match the checksums on each kernel: 3118173032 501254 386bsd - is in fact the codrv configuration. 185562127 490808 386bsd - is in fact the pccons configuration. The new archives in /pub/incoming/XFree86-1.2 have corrected names and MANIFEST files are added: kernel-1.2.pccons-fix-1.tar.Z - uses the stock pccons console driver kernel-1.2.codrv-fix-1.tar.Z - uses Holger Veit's enhanced console driver I'm very sorry for any inconvenience.
