Summary: NetBSD-current, XFree86-2.X
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]


I've been having limited success at getting XFree86 up and running with
NetBSD-current.  Firstly, I tried XFree86-2.1 and had no success, with the
X programs returning back a 'Cannot map ld.so' error.  I switched back to
XFree86-2.0 as I had this running fine when I was running NetBSD-0.9.  I
_thought_ I had XFree86-2.0 running, it would run binaries just fine, but
when it came to compiling anything, things would compile just fine until
the compiled program returned a 'Cannot open display' error.

I'm running NetBSD-current, and would prefer to get XFree86-2.1 running,
but am prepared to drop to 2.0 if I can only get that going.

Can someone please shed some light on these bizarre problems????

Glen.
