   I have been trying to figure out how to compile a kernel with X support
   built-in.  I am running X now.  I have downloaded and applied all of the 
   patches.  I have added  UCONSOLE and XSERVER to the options in ../GENERICISA

   I have  config GENERICISA   I go into the GENERICISA dir and do a   
   make depend.  I then do a make.

   I can see that  -DUCONSOLE and -DXSERVER has been added to the command line 
   during the compile stage.

   However,  grep -i "xmode" 386bsd  shows nothing!  The new kernel when 
   rebooted, does not support X11.

   I have manually stuck a  #define XSERVER in pccons.c, and it gives me a 
   warning saying it has been already defined.  

   What am I missing?

Double check that you are actually compiling and linking in the
patched pccons.c and not the original.  If you patch
/sys/compile/GENERICISA/pccons.c, then make sure that your Makefile
refers to it and not /sys/i386/isa/pccons.c.  Rich
