Subject: [NetBSD-0.9] Which X versions can I use?

Hey, I just got NetBSD-0.9 - IMHO it is a little buggy, slip hangs up
about once or twice a day (maybe not their fault), and sometimes
the system hangs hard - about 1-2x a day.  386BSD-0.1 + pk0.2.3 was
more reliable.

But in any case, I tried getting that XFree86-1.3u1 from sun-lamp
and I tried to run it with my old 1.3 config file, and it hung the
machine after resynchronizing the screen at a higher resolution.

To make a long story short, does teh Xconfig have to be changed, or should
I be using another version of X?
I am going to try to run XFree-1.3 for 386BSD-0.1 when I get a spare
minute, I just thought I'd try parallel paths to save time.

Thanks.
