I just installed syscons-0.2 on my netbsd 0.9 system. It works alright,
but xfree86 won't work (I am using 1.3-u1). It worked fine w/ pccons...
Here is the output of a startx:
XFree86 Version 1.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 5000)
Operating System: 386BSD
Configured drivers:

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.
Any ideas? I would like to be able to stick with syscons... I probably
have enough space to relink the server though, if that is necessary, but
not recompile it. According to the docs the default server should work
though.
