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):

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 ?
