[If so, with what packages/versions?] XS3 does not run under NetBSD-0.9, it simply core-dumps no one has been able to give me the details so far. So someone has to take the initiative to re-compile it under NetBSD-0.9 and sort out what the problems. Is it a big task? No. So how about someone giving a hand ? Now, if this was Linux -- I can tell you that XS3 would have been running a long time ago with NetBSD-0.9.
