I don't understand this, why would a patch be needed for NetBSD 0.9?
I have the whole X11R5/mit tree with the XFree86 1.3 patches off of
ftp.x.org (export.lcs.mit.edu), I recompiled it all on NetBSD 0.8, when
the DB library changed, and it runs fine under NetBSD 0.9.  I've even
got a working XDM, and Xview 3.0 (from FreeBSD.cdrom.com).
Am I missing something, or am I just lucky??  :-)
(oh, and if you need a DES xdm, I can probably ftp it somewhere..)
