If you have unpacked the the files on agate in
incoming/X386/core-*.tar.Z, then the information you need on /dev/vga
is in X386/lib/X11/etc/x386install:

# create /dev/vga if it doesn't exist
if [ ! -c /dev/vga ]; then
	mknod /dev/vga c 12 0
fi

If you want to use x386install, cd to the directory containiung X386
and execute X386/lib/X11/etc/x386install as root.  It creates links so
that the distribution appears to be in /usr/X386, puts the X man pages
in /etc/man.conf and creates /dev/vga if needed, etc.  Rich
