Hi all.
I got the new NetBSD and tried to use X on it.
But the screen remains dark . ( I tried Xfree 1.1 - 1.3  )
Here is the output of the Server:
 XFree86 Version 1.3 / X Window System
 (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
 Operating System: 386BSD 
 Configured drivers:
   VGA256 (256 colour SVGA):
       et4000, et3000, pvga1, wd90c00, wd90c10, wd90c30, gvga, ati,

I am using the GENERICAHA - Kernel from the distribution-floppy.
( I also tried to recompile the kernel , but I got the same results with the new
kernel. )
The server or the kernel don't crash . The server just 'hangs' , it seems 
that the process is waiting for an envent.
I made /dev/vga . 

Any ideas are very appreciated 
Thanks

PS: Thank's to all who made NetBSD0.9 . It works great. It looks 
very much likeSunOs 4.1.3 . Btw is somebody working on the shared-libs ?
