In the kernel configuration, /dev/psm0 is commented out and its I/O address conflicts with that for scd0 (sc0 ?) - the SCSI disk (controller). In addition, the video card is listed as having a 1703 RAMDAC, but the XFree86 configuration has a 1700 or a 1703 selection - no 1702. When XDM starts up, I get a small part of a cursor, no mouse control, and a login window that is choped off by the lower righthand part of the X screen. I need to find the appropriate mouse "device" (in or out of the kernel), how to get the X windows placed properly, and how to get Xaccess (et al) to allow a remote xterm connection. I have tried a number of different configurations, but haven't found one that does everything correctly, yet.
