I am having trouble getting XFree86 to run under my NetBSD kernel.
I have tried my best to recompile it, but it just doesn't seem
to want to work. This is what startx gives me when I execute it. ANy
help would be appreciated. Thanks.
XFree86 Version 1.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Operating System: 386BSD
Configured drivers:
VGA256 (256 colour SVGA) patchlevel 1:
et4000, et3000, pvga1, wd90c00, wd90c10, wd90c30, gvga, ati,
tvga8800cs, tvga8900b, tvga8900c, tvga8900cl, tvga9000, clgd5420,
clgd5422, clgd5424, clgd5426, ncr77c22, ncr77c22e, cpq_avga
Fatal server error:
CONSOLE_X_MODE_OFF on /dev/vga failed (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
Was expecting pccons driver with X support
Check your kernel's console driver configuration and /dev entries
XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.
