I have installed X386 on my 386BSD system and have two questions?

1.  The README makes reference to a locore.s patch, any one know of
    where to find it.  I have looked on agate.berkeley.edu and have
    been unable to find it.
 
    I did apply the com port patches.
 
2.  When trying to run x i get a message that says "cannot open /dev/vga"
    any one know what device this is?  Is there a special driver that
    needs to be built into the kernel, and of so, weres the sources?
 
If any one can answer please post to the news group or try my network
address.

Thanks
